Peugeot Fractal concept
Weighs only 1,000 kg
After a series of
leaks
,
Peugeot has introduced the Fractal concept which will be showcased later this
month at IAA.
Being only 3.81 meters long and 1.77 meters wide, the new
concept from PSA has a very compact size and also boasts a lightweight
construction as it tips the scales at just 1,000 kg (2,204 lbs) and benefits
from a removable roof. It sits on large 19-inch wheels and has very short front
and rear overhangs of 0.52m which according to Peugeot enable the concept to be
very easy to maneuver around town. The all-wheel drive Fractal concept also has
adjustable air springs which can modify the vehicle's ground clearance between
7 cm and 11 cm.
It adopts an electric powertrain consisting of two 102 PS
(75 kW) electric motors mounted on each axle and working together with a 30 kWh
battery pack which has enough juice for a maximum range of 280 miles (450 km). This hardware setup enables a 0-62 mph (0-100
km/h) run in 6.8 seconds and allows the concept to cover 1,000 meters from a
standstill in 28.8 seconds.
Stepping inside the cabin, more than 80% of the trim surface
consists of 3D-printed parts and the concept boasts an evolution of the
i-Cockpit seen for the first time on the
2010
SR1 concept
. It benefits from a head-up display featuring a high-definition
holographic screen along with a 45-degree polycarbonate strip that offer
additional information.
The center console hosts a 7.7-inch AMOLED touchscreen
display part of the infotainment system and works with a 9.1.2 sound system
encompassing three mid/high-range speakers, two tweeters, two woofers and a
subwoofer at the front while in the back there are two mid-range speakers, two
tweeters and a woofer. Moreover, the back of each seat incorporates a
two-channel tactile bass system to provide the ultimate aural experience as the
bass travels through a solid medium instead of going through air, so the sound
waves reach the inner ear through the body.
Peugeot says the Fractal is only a concept, but they do
mention it represents a prospective design for an electric urban
coupe/cabriolet model.
