Peugeot 508 Sport Engineered Concept (2019)

High-performance tyres were selected from the range of our partner, Michelin. The Concept 508 Peugeot Sport Engineered sports 245/35 R20 Pilot Sport 4S tyres, chosen for their ultra-grip that pushes out performance limits.

The best of both worlds

The Concept 508 Peugeot Sport Engineered fits perfectly into the ethos of this new line of high-class electric vehicles and opens up a whole new world of driving experiences.

Without any compromise on performance, all the advantages of a plug-in hybrid vehicle are on offer. The battery (11,8kWh) deliver real fuel efficiency and 100% electric mode up to 50km (WLTP).

In Sport mode, thermal and electric power sources can be aggregated up to 190km/h, providing impressive in-gear acceleration in all conditions!

Incredible driveability but with a new, more stringent standard in CO2 emissions.

Enhanced agility

This concept car heralds a new, high degree of agility and lays the foundations for a new expression of electric performance with a Peugeot Sport signature.

Vehicle aerodynamics constitute a whole new dimension with amazing styling results:

• the front bumper is sharper and includes large scoop cut-outs for improved cooling. Adjacent side flaps allow for optimised airflows. The valance, produced by means of 3D printing techniques, is sharp, fitted with floating blades that seem poised to cut through the air. They are specifically located to direct air towards the radiator,
• the sub-frames are fitted with flaps to reduce aerodynamic drag,
• streamlined winglets are located on the quarter panels where the GT Line and GT monograms are normally found,
• there is no rear spoiler, which would be detrimental to the clean lines and balance of the original design,
• in addition to its efficiency, the new diffuser adds to the power of the rear end.

The design is enhanced by the special "Selenium Grey" body colour, which changes according to the light, thanks to the fine opalescent particles contained in the paint.

By way of contrast, "Kryptonite" inserts provide a captivating, lively note, underlining the concept car's modern, sporty character.

In addition to their dynamic design, the new 20" alloy wheel rims allow for improved brake cooling. The engraved finish is an elegant and sporty blend of onyx black and selenium grey. The wheel bolt covers are star-shaped, fully hiding the wheel bolts and providing unprecedented attention to detail. The wheel rims allow a glimpse of the Peugeot Sport Engineered signature on the brake callipers which also sport the kryptonite colour code.

The chrome features now appear more assertive with their gloss black colour and the iconic Lion and the monograms sport the same anodised surface finish as on the recent Peugeot e-Legend Concept car.

Epitomising timeless sportiness, the door mirror shells are made of carbon fibre.

A Peugeot i-Cockpit® tailored for instinctive performance

More than ever, the Peugeot i-Cockpit® is dedicated to performance and an intuitive driving experience - the compact steering wheel only adds to the vehicle's agility and the head-up instrument panel allows the driver to have a clear view of the road and to have 100% concentration.

The new "comfort-fit" seats come with leather and Alcantara® upholstery with Kryptonite and Onyx Black overstitching. Every component in the passenger compartment has been specially shaped: the roof, the windscreen uprights, the doors and the quarter panels, which are Alcantara®-covered.

The sporty asymmetrical steering wheel is still featured, but it is now covered in Alcantara® combined with carbon fibre inserts. The lower section is completed with an insert featuring the 3 Peugeot Sport Engineered lines and alternating Kryptonite and Onyx Black overstitching. To provide a new sensory and visual experience, the touch-sensitive gear lever also includes an Alcantara® section.

The door-frames are equally covered in this beautiful material and contain perforations revealing Kryptonite recesses that fade to form a uniform band on the dashboard, the top of which is overstitched in Kryptonite. The central console is elegantly clothed in carbon fibre to emphasise the vehicle's dynamic personality.

Total immersion is guaranteed with the 100% Kryptonite 10" capacitive HD touch screen and the 12.3" head-up digital pad.

No detail has been spared - there is even a subtle touch of Kryptonite on the inside of the door handles.
