Peugeot 208 Hybrid: 800kg (1764 lbs), 0-60 8 secs, 149 mpg
An interesting read- esp the alternator delete/improved rear aero
RE: Peugout 208 Hybrid FE: Driven - PistonHeads
this I reckon could be the shape of things to come- a halfway house between the limited range of all electric, and the joy of a decent petrol engine and performance

Indeed- it looks like an ideal vehicle to assist public perception change, and a movement towards hybrids

What's up with PistonHeads... first they don't hate the BMW i3, now they think a light & well-designed fuel sipper might be fun?
(Though they admit they didn't get to do anything but drive it in a straight line... those 145mm width tires would have dissapointed them, guaranteed...)
I love the visual approach to that Kammback -- black it out to put a jaunty forward-leaning character line in the rear of the car. |

I'm confused too- may have to buy a v8 to restore karmic balance!
Its nice to post their articles on here- its a C- change in general petrol head opinions
I'm sure the 145 tyres would be fine, assuming lift off oversteer could be caught using the throttle

Lots of torque in an electric motor to catch lift-off oversteer!

I must admit that Peugeot has some nice projects, altough I still have my objections towards the absence of an alternator...

I Imagine the lack of alternator can be overcome with regen braking to an extent?

Honda Insight did it, works just fine. Though they do keep the 12 volt battery & starter. |

Now I recalled, even the electric motors can also feature some generator function, in a similar fashion to the old-style DynaStart which was used in some vintage French cars
