The Peugeot Oxia is a concept car built by Peugeot in 1988 as a tribute to the company's past and to express their sporting success. It was designed by Gérard Welter for the exterior and Paul Bracq for the interior
The Oxia is a grand touring coupé prototype created and designed at the La Garenne research center. It was presented at the 1988 Paris Motor Show. Only 2 cars capable of reaching 350 km/h were ever produced. It is the most powerful car ever made by Peugeot.
Design And Specifications
[edit]The Oxia is powered by a 24-valve, 2.85-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 PRV (Peugeot-Renault-Volvo) engine capable of delivering 670hp, equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission and 4-wheel drive that took it to 350 km/h in the hands of Michelin driver Jean-Philippe Vittecoq, but Peugeot's declared top speed is 300 km/h. It has a Kevlar and carbon fiber body with an extruded aluminum chassis and an adjustable spoiler at the rear that adapts to speed, with its modern interior equipped with a telephone, on-board computer, 18 photovoltaic cells at the bottom of the windshield so that the air conditioning continues to work when the car is stopped, electrically adjustable seats and radio with CD input.[1][2][3]
The Oxia also has four-wheel steering, a six-speed gearbox, electronically controlled axle differentials, and automatic tire pressure monitors.[4]
