Well, Peugeot say at the same time that is a production car and also that it is a special model.

La PEUGEOT 208 à l'essai est une version « Très Basse Consommation » disponible dans le réseau commercial
It have an aero mod (on the rear of the car, don't know if it is because they read ecomodder forum ) and tires inflated up to 3.5 bars !! Don't know the outside temperature, if the 38 hours where only during day. The engine has start & stop....
Without this mod the 208 Cx is 0.29 (I don't have the sCx). The car mass is betwenn 1050 - 1090 kg (My car is close to 1400 kg have a Cx near 0.22 and my tire are inflated at 2.8 bars). 22% lighter then my prius.

They drive at a constant speed of 60 km/h. At such a speed the most important is weight and tire. Aero is less then 45% of the total power.
