Impressive.
But I question the usefulness and safety of those rear seat backs




And some suicide doors to boot


Lots of points for exceeding the IQ in compactness

If its low speed, why would it need vented disks

Peugeot looking good!

True, it is just a concept, but it maintains the ability to park perpendicularly to the street.

Surely it will look boxier for safety reasons if ever built. And that scooter handlebar is not going to survive into production.

Hmmm...Toilet seats for rear seats sound safe to me! NOT!

Vented disks? Maybe it has the ability to speed?

If it's not built on a monoque or a safety cell then this thing might be SUV bait.

But hey, it's Peugeot we're talking about (207 baby! )

Perhaps it can seat four since it is electric? Battery and drive take up less space in the Peugeot BB1?

It looks 'odd' at best. It will definitely stand out in a parking lot.

I'll keep my mouth zipped on safety. Just because it "LOOKS" unsafe doesn't mean it is, we'll wait to see what makes it past testing if they even decide to make it a reality from the concept. I like it but I can't help but think the styling is a take it or leave it thing.....once again much like the smart.
