Peugeot rebrands with new logo
Friday 8 January 2010, 17:31
Peugeot has rebranded with a new logo to mark its 200th anniversary.
The French manufacturer has also revealed its new SR1 concept which marks a radical new design direction.
The SR1 concept incorporates HYbrid4 technology with a 1.6 litre THP 218bhp petrol engine combined with a rear electric motor developing 95bhp. In electric only mode, the car becomes a zero emission vehicle (ZEV), with a combined cycle fuel consumption of 57.7 mpg or 119 g/km of CO2.
When the two power trains operate simultaneously, the SR1 develops a potential maximum power output of 313bhp, while benefiting also from four-wheel drive.
The HYbrid4 technology will eventually be available on four different models in the Peugeot range.
The Peugeot SR1 concept car will be unveiled to the general public at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show in March.
New logo
The first production vehicle to display the new Lion will be the RCZ which is to be launched this spring.
UK dealers will have to update their corporate identity to match the new logo, but Peugeot has not revealed how quickly it wants this to take place.

And, that car above, the SR1.
The fuel consumption is a lie. It will not do that, that breaks the laws of physics for a 300bhp car, as the wind resistance alone at 60mph demands that fuel consumption, plus the 4x4 drivetrain losses and the weight of batteries.
Anyone who believes that nonsense is a fool.
Also, in electric mode it is NOT "Zero Emission". You need emissions to generate the electric and there is battery production and disposal to consider. Again, only fools believe this "zero" nonsense.
Sorry to burst the bubble. But really, some sense must be written about this stuff.

I bet this new logo cost Peugeot £1million! They should have asked me, I could have done it on Paint Shop Pro for £10 and made a £9.50 profit, hahaha!
Why oh why do they bother. Would help more if the cars didn't break down.
