Peugeot's Onyx: simply amazing - Wallpaper HD 1600x1200

a concept car from Peugeot named Onyx takes shape in its first promotional video. The car's 3.7-litre twin-turbo diesel engine generates 600hp, but with an F1-style KERS system harnessing energy under braking, there's also a supplementary 80hp electric motor ready to do its stuff under acceleration. There's no word on exact figures, but expect around 3.0 seconds for the 0-62mph sprint. Focusing on the lines and angles of the car, Peugeot has put together a sheer beauty, nothing-less than an expertly crafted automobile. Although the vehicle is quite stunning, we must remember it’s only a concept.

The engine is a 3.7-litre turbodiesel V8 taken from the firm's former 908 Le Mans racer. The chassis is inspired by motorsport technology, too - it's a carbonfibre monocoque, weighing in at a ridiculously light 100kg. This helps keep overall weight down to just 1,100kg.
Onyx's most striking features are the two huge swathes of polished copper that adorn both sides. Each side is made from a single piece of copper and, other than extensive polishing, the material is unprotected from the elements. and finally, the official Video of  Onyx Concept in 1080p. enjoy.
