Peugeot
Flux
The
Peugeot Flux concept was the winner of the 2007 Peugeot International Design
Competition. The 2007 brief asked for a vehicle which could be used as a sports
car but which was versatile enough to be used for mild off road excursions.
Designed
by a 20 year old Romanian, Mihai Panaitescu, the Peugeot Flux concept went on
show at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show as a full-size model. As a further bonus
the Flux concept became a feature in an Xbox driving game.
The
compact Peugeot Flux concept measures 3.5 metres long and 1.65 meters wide.
Power comes from a rear-mounted hydrogen fueled engine, the fuel tank is
mounted up front.
Materials
used in construction of the Peugeot Flux include plastic for the body,
polyurethane for the seats, and aluminium for the chassis and mechanical
elements.
The
panel of judges for the 2007 Peugeot design competition included Peugeot design
managers, Xbox representatives and several automotive journalists.
