It used to be that a concept car would make its big show debut, then maybe make the rounds of some smaller local shows and subsequently disappear. But recently automakers have been giving their show cars a new lease on life.
Lexus did just that with the
LF-LC concept, introducing it in red at the
Detroit Auto Show and then repainting it blue for Sydney.
Subaru has taken a similar approach with its
Viziv concept, much as
Mini did with the
Rocketman. And now
Peugeot is following suit with its
Exalt concept.
First
revealed at the
Beijing Motor Show a few months back, the Exalt is a svelte four-door coupe concept encompassing innovative approaches to both construction materials and powertrain. Now it's coming home to roost for the
Paris Motor Show next month, and has put on a fresh face for the trip.
The original featured a red "shark skin" rear end that gave the Exalt a two-tone finish in contrast with the hand-beaten bare metal bodywork fore of the rear wheels and pillars. For the Paris show, however, Peugeot has given the concept a new grey rear end. It's also redone the recycled newsprint interior from the original light grey with dark wood to a dark fabric with light wood trim.
The 340-horsepower hybrid powertrain, which pairs a 1.6-liter inline four with an electric motor on the rear axle, appears to be carrying over, but just to mix things up, Peugeot has fit an electric scooter beneath the trunk floor. Scope out all the details in the press release
below and the fresh gallery of images of the reskinned concept above.
