“Peugeot”. I love saying that word. It’s sexy in that “I have a sexy French accent” kind of way. Birthing forth from Peugeot is the SR1, a turbo-diesel hybrid that anyone living in Twin Peaks would love.
Spacey, futuristic, and gorgeous. Peugeot (almost) always makes sexy vehicles that rely on perfect proportion to stand out, and the SR1 does that with a tantalizing extended hood and silhouette.
Peugeot have done something interesting with this concept. While indeed the silhouette rocks our socks, the incredible details are what really set apart this exterior. The SR1′s use of slightly 3-D elements and surfaces are “painted on” the bodyside with what can only be described as being similar to the strokes from a palette knife or brush. The 2-D lines that lead our eyes around the vehicle remind me personally of the zipping arrows that I used for call-outs on sketches. Indeed, they point to great eye-candy here as well.
What makes the SR1 special isn’t just the exterior; the vehicle’s interior, especially the IP, is outstanding. Like something out of Mass Effect, the futuristic wrap-around (wood?) is a minimalistic take on Martian landscape, yet the details scream for space ship navigation. Here’s a prime example of why we love this car: the gauges aren’t gauges… they’re frickin’ crystals.
Atlantis, here we come.
I quite like what Peugeot did with their last concept cars in terms of brand identity, but I feel the badge is a tiny bit too far up, it now seems detached from the DRG.
Wow…Nice i love it, front fascia looks like the hyundai iflow
I think their designers have to stop looking at the Aston Martin Vantage v8.
hermoso peugeot, aunque con rasgos muy caracteristicos de ASTON MARTIN
I like the over form of the car but the side graphic bothered me. I first looked at the pictures before reading your text. I guess that was why it was bothering me.
Even with concept cars, beginners mistakes are refused when a proffisionals fall into.
Here, we are looking for an all new face looking for the brand, also a real simple and dynamic rear lights .. but soon we feel the scene had been distorts with the lower part of the whole car, also the side sculpture and the realtion between the rear lights and the side of the car.
When a beginner designer make a concept he would like to provide (and give a prove of his abilities) all his thoughts in one car, which mostly lead to kill a chance for a real good concept.
And if that mieght be accepted from beginners, it’s totally rejected when it comes from proffisionals.
