So what’s the 907 all about then? Here’s the official line from Peugeot: “It is a GT coupé, created with reference to the past, the present and the future. The 907 is a two-seater coupé, modern but also classic.” These ‘classic’ elements of the car stem from the styling, with its sculpted and elegant shape, and pushed-back cockpit. This ’swept’ cockpit leaves an expansive bonnet that is home to a glazed panel revealing twelve intake ‘trumpets’ set into the bonnet, adding a little eye-candy to proceedings. The roof and front windscreen form a single glazed area, while retro-themed side vents are situated in the front wings and rear quarter panels, and a retractable rear spoiler is incorporated in the tailgate, as is a chunky air diffuser.
All told, the 907 concept measures 1.88 metres wide and 4.37 metres long, while a 1.21 metre height ensures that it cuts through the wind at high speed. And talk about speed - this Peugeot is no mild-mannered gentleman. With a Lamborghini Murcielago-rivalling 6.0-litre V12 providing 368kW of power (500hp), the 1400kg 907 will be able to surpass the 300km/h mark, and though no official figures have been supplied, expect the 0-100km/h sprint to take place in roughly 4.0 seconds flat.
