This Insane 740bhp Hybrid Racecar Concept Weighs Just 825kg... And It's A Peugeot

This Insane 740bhp Hybrid Racecar Concept Weighs Just 825kg... And It's A Peugeot

Peugeot seems to have taken a good handful of crazy pills this morning, announcing a pretty spectacular Vision Gran Turismo concept just days before the latest game in the franchise hits shops.

Gran Turismo Sport will already have a mean assortment of concept metal direct from the likes of Mercedes-AMG, Bugatti and McLaren. Peugeot has added its own dash of spice to the October 17 release with this: the L750 R Hybrid.

This Insane 740bhp Hybrid Racecar Concept Weighs Just 825kg... And It's A Peugeot

Based on last year’s L500 R Hybrid, it cuts another 175kg(!) out of the one-tonne car, making for a mere 825kg mass in a car that’s an extra 79bhp more powerful than the L500 R. Spoiler alert: it’s bananas fast.

A petrol engine that revs to 10,000rpm (yes, really) joins an electric motor for an output of 740bhp. We’d say that was, err, adequate in a machine that weighs less than a Volkswagen Up. The aero package looks like it’s something to be reckoned with, too.

Furnishing the concept are dual-circuit hydraulic disc brakes with carbon rotors, independent suspension at all corners that can vary the ride height according to speed, and forged magnesium-alloy wheels.

This is going to be a proper animal. PlayStation 4 owners will be looking forward to taking the wheel. As for pace, a top speed isn’t listed but 62mph is brought about in a pretty brain-shattering 2.4 seconds. We can’t wait to hear the noise it makes at full chat…

Peugeot really seems to like to lose their time to make concepts which are super hot, but which are never going to hit production, because Peugeot

It was… and counting a racing version of that in the game… That means that this is Peugeot’s third VGT

Well, the Project One and Valkyrie will actually be road-legal, have a better power:weight ratio and rev higher. This is a cool car, but not because of the numbers alone.
