A Peugeot 407 Coupé concept car is set to be exhibited at next month’s Geneva Motor Show. Known as the ‘407 Coupé Prologue’, it strongly hints at how the forthcoming 407 Coupé will look when it hits the showrooms in early 2006.
From a range of proposals, an ‘in-house’ design by the Peugeot Style Centre was chosen, a design that the company claims ‘gives the car a powerful, refined and elegant look’.
The front of the vehicle consists of a two-piece air intake featuring a chrome-plated grille. The main lights are wide and generously dimensioned, featuring directional headlamps, while additional fog lamps and three side “vents” add purposeful expression to the front of the vehicle, Peugeot says.
The five-dial instrument panel is reminiscent of the refined world of watch making, with its “chronograph” graduations and “concentric” graphic style, Peugeot claims.
The 407 Coupé Prologue is powered by a V6 HDi diesel engine featuring a maintenance-free particle emission filter (FAP). It develops a maximum power of
150 kW (in excess of 200 bhp), with a maximum torque of 440 Nm. It is combined with a 6-speed automatic gearbox with a ‘Tiptronic’ sequential control system.
