Peugeot unveiled the RCZ Vision with 500 horsepower and 10-minute charging.
Peugeot unveiled the RCZ Vision, a sports coupe concept that showcases the company's vision for the future of its automobiles. The new model continues the ideas of the iconic RCZ, produced from 2009 to 2015, but brings them into the era of electric vehicles and new technologies.
The design is based on the Feline Future concept, built on five principles: freedom, courage, elegance, inner strength, and instinct. The coupe features a low silhouette, wide fenders, a panoramic glass roof, and a new lighting signature in the form of three horizontal "claws." An active rear spoiler is concealed when stationary and extends when driving.
The electric powertrain produces 500 hp, and the claimed range is up to 600 km. The concept is built on the STLA One architecture with a 1000-volt electrical system and a solid-state battery just 110 mm thick, developed in collaboration with Factorial Energy. According to Peugeot, charging the battery from 10 to 80% takes about 10 minutes, and energy consumption is expected to be 11.5 kWh per 100 km according to the WLTP cycle.
The cabin seats four and features a combination of Alcantara, recycled leather, and aluminum accents. The new generation i-Cockpit features transparent MicroLED displays, allowing you to customize the information displayed and reduce visual distractions.
The RCZ Vision also showcases future control solutions. Instead of a conventional steering wheel, it uses a Hypersquare system combined with Steer-by-Wire electronic wheel control, while the brakes, a first for Peugeot, utilize Brake-by-Wire technology, eliminating the need for a mechanical link between the pedal and the brake mechanism.
