Onyx Concept Car Is Launched by Peugeot

French automaker Peugeot is planning to unveil the new supercar, Onyx concept at the upcoming 2012 Paris Motor Show.

The Onyx concept will be powered by a 3.7-liter V8 hybrid HDi FAP engine mated to a six-speed sequential transmission to deliver an output of 600hp.

In addition, the supercar concept gets a hybrid4 engine, which will utilise a kinetic energy recovery system to charge lithium-ion batteries.

According to the automaker, the lithium-ion batteries will power an electric motor to generate another 80hp.

Peugeot Style director Gilles Vidal was quoted by The Auto Channel saying that Onyx has the strength of a supercar, with extremely aerodynamic lines.

"It is made unique by its sculpted, chiselled style and by the innovative materials and structure," Vidal said.
