Design and Performance[]

Design[]

Designed by the Peugeot design center of chief designer Gilles Vidal, the bodywork (with its onyx mineral appearance) is hand-crafted by a master craftsman,[4] made of carbon fiber and copper foils. The taillights adopt the stylistic three-claw signature of the Peugeot lion, and its taut lines (inspired among others by the , , Peugeot RCZ, Peugeot SR1, and ) influence the styling of future Peugeot models 2015.

Engine[]

The Onyx is powered by a Peugeot Sport V8 PSA HYbrid4-HDi-FAP 3.7 L Peugeot 908 engine from the 2011 24 Hours of Le Mans Prototype, with a cumulative 680 hp (600 + 80) for a weight of 1,100 kg (2,400 lb), an acceleration from 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.9 s, and 360 km/h (220 mph) top speed.
