The Peugeot RCZ sports car will make its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in Germany in September 2009. The Peugeot RCZ was first revealed as a concept car in 2007. The first production model houses some really advanced technology. The Peugeot RCZ is fitted with an active rear spoiler, twin-scroll turbo charger, direct petrol injection, variable valve lift and variable valve timing, Hill Assist to help with maneuvers on steep gradients, an intelligent traction control system or ASR, an electronic brake force distribution or EBFD and emergency brake assist or EBA. It’s the first car to be revealed by Peugeot which doesn’t use the usual zero numbering system, which means that Peugeot considers this to be a special vehicle. A hybrid version of the Peugeot RCZ will also be presented as a concept car at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2009. The hybrid is rumored to be able to do 100 km on 3.7 litres of fuel, which would make it the most fuel efficient sports car if it were available today. The Peugeot RCZ will go on sale to the public in 2010.

The Peugeot RCZ looks very stylish to me. The question is just what the price tag will be on this car and whether it will be available in South Africa or not. Still, this may be outside my price range for a vehicle. Peugeot has built up quite a huge fan base in South Africa, so I ‘m sure that if this vehicle is released here I would be able to find a cheap 2nd hand Peugeot RCZ in the classifieds in a few years.
