Exciting Green Concept Cars at Goodwood

Generously provided by Automobiles Peugeot

This dramatic-looking saloon is mid-engined, and propelled by a 700bhp, 5.5 litre V12 powerplant developing an amazing 845lb ft. That might not sound very green, except that this engine is a direct injection diesel, and essentially the same as used by Peugeot's Le Mans 908 HDi race car, itself a mobile test laboratory for the company's diesel engine developments - it even runs with road car particulate filters. The 908 RC's body is made of up of a lightweight carbon composite and aluminium honeycomb mix, like a race car's. This striking saloon is unlikely to see production, but will undoubtedly influence future models.
