Design and Performance

Design

Designed by the Peugeot design center of chief designer Gilles Vidal, the bodywork (with its onyx mineral appearance) is hand-crafted by a master craftsman,^[4] made of carbon fiber and copper foils. The taillights adopt the stylistic three-claw signature of the Peugeot lion, and its taut lines (inspired among others by the Peugeot Proxima, Peugeot Oxia, Peugeot RCZ, Peugeot SR1, and Peugeot HX1) influence the styling of future Peugeot models 2015.

Engine

The Onyx is powered by a Peugeot Sport V8 PSA HYbrid4-HDi-FAP 3.7 L Peugeot 908 engine from the 2011 24 Hours of Le Mans Prototype, with a cumulative 680 hp (600 + 80) for a weight of 1,100 kg (2,400 lb), an acceleration from 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.9 s, and 370 km/h (230 mph) top speed.
