      Thing is nobody is going to spend Ferrari-money on a Peugeot, even if it is a very special car. It doesnt have the pedigree to play on top of the game. Also most people are buying eco-boxes and SUVs and not sportscars. Its sad, I know, but car enthusiasts are not buying, they are just complaining a lot.
      So, I cant blame the manufacturer for building "boring" cars. I can blame customers tho, who dont care enough.

      No, they were never going to make it. Peugeot was just creating a lót of concept cars around that period, every one more wild and out there than the last, and Peugeot is one of the few brands that has held on to the idea that concept cars shouldn't just be an empty shell, but should actually be drivable, even if they're not road legal, which is why the 907 actually got the V12. Like all their concept cars of the era though (with the exception of the Elixir, that ended up being the 407 estate), they were not intended for production.

    That first question. "What cars spring to mind when you think Peugeot?" For me, it's the peugeot 306 Rally Car, with that spoiler on the back. My first ever acknowledgement of what a rally car was came via a Playstation 1 game called "V-Rally". For some reason, the peugeot 306 always stood out for me in that game, because of that little spoiler on the back, and the way the back end of the car looked like it was scraping the floor. I grew up liking peugeots because of that. The 406 coupe was gorgeous, but the 406 Sedan, which I owned, I found horrible, with uncomfortable seats, and just a dull interior and it was slow AF. I also owned a MK1 Renault Laguna and that was so much nicer inside. Lovely car those MK1 lagunas. Even today, if you google the interior of the MK1 Laguna, and the dash is lovely, wraps right around you.

      I wouldn't say it is cooler. It is a Nazca C2, but worse looking. I really like 80's cars, but that one isn't on point.

    Pininfarina did a fantastic job on the 406 Coupe. A proper coupe with lovely lines and proportions. A lot nicer than the giant 4 door 'coupes' you get now.
    The French never really made any fully fledged super cars though. I know you could technically class Bugatti as French (sort of) but they do hyper cars not super cars. Plus an Italian brand with a German engine is hardly French anyway.

      We had the unfamous Ventury, kinda "the french Ferrari" but they had financial problems in the 90's. Since the brand reborned in 2000 and is specialized in electric sports car...

      The 406 Coupé was absolutely fantastic, and I personally adore the 407 Coupé as well, even if it was an inhouse design rather than one done by Pininfarina. Shame they are all front-wheel drive though...

    Either it had no downforce at all (which would make it terrifying at vmax), or 222mph was absolute fantasy. 500bhp with a realistic coefficient of drag *might* get you to 200mph with appropriate gearing and a long enough runway.

    I am of French descent and always thought of Peugeots as really interesting and unique cars. It was sad to see them leave the American market years ago. I think it was due to them being quite slow and unreliable. This car had the potential to change my opinion I'm certain. Even still, I genuinely miss the old cool slow ones as well.

    When I was in kindergarten, I confused Peugeot with Ferrari, as both them had horses as their symbol. And used to tell my parents that I saw a Ferrari everyday when I came home.

    I actually remember when I saw this around 15 or more years ago as a concept on tv, I was obsessed with it for a while. V12 with 368KW as we speak here in South Africa or round 500hp, should have been made Peugeot had alot of innovative concepts through the years this should have seen production.

    Back in the old days, when car companies apparently had endless budget to build things like this model - fully functional.
    Back then, when VW put V10 Diesel engines into production cars (Touareg, Phaeton), Audi even put a V12 TDI engine into the Q7. V6‘s into Golf and Jetta - special, but still normal.
    Today, happy to see an I4 engine within Compact Class instead of 3 Cylinder.
    Oh my, how things have changed…
