Peugeot RC Z Coupé heads Lion’s pride
There have been spy shots. There have been teaser images. But now here’s the real thing – Peugeot’s answer to the Audi TT.
These are the first official pictures of the stunning RC Z coupé – the car that will become the pride of the Lion’s range.
First seen two years ago in concept form at the Frankfurt Motor Show, this is the production-ready version – and it’s set to take the 2009 German expo by storm next month.
Just like the TT, the RC Z is aimed at drivers who put style high on their list of priorities. Impossible to miss is the ‘double bubble’ roof – which not only gives the car a unique look, but also cleans up airflow and reduces drag.
Aluminium arches help to highlight the front and rear windscreens and blacked out roof panel, while muscular wheelarches and an exaggerated shoulder line finish off the design.
Despite being smaller than the current TT, Peugeot claims the model is a practical choice. Boot capacity is 384 litres, compared to 290 litres in the Audi, but that can be extended by folding the rear seatbacks.
