Debuting at this year’s Geneva Motor Show is the Peugeot SR1 design concept, a vehicle that the Parisian company hopes will represent its current and future direction as an automaker. Built to replicate the dimensions of a grand tourer, the SR1 uses a few touches from other highly regarded sports cars. The front, for example, is pure Aston Martin; from the sleek headlamps to the trapezoidal grille. The door creases make the car look terrific, and the rear of the car appears to borrow a bit from Nissan’s current Z-note the boomerang lights and sharp angle where the trunk would open, lending another edge of sportiness. The ultramodern interior almost disguises the fact that the convertible has a rather unique 2+1 layout (is the backseat even lonelier now? or more exclusive?). All of the interior’s touches seem to point the controls directly at the driver, a true enthusiast’s touch in marked contrast from most other vehicles, who design their switchgear as if were meant to be shared.
