As part of Peugeot’s 200th anniversary celebrations, the brand’s design offices wanted to create an electrically powered concept car.[2]
Previous concept cars from Peugeot have been the Asphalte and 20Cup. The EX1 is a 2-door roadster that is shaped like a “water droplet”, with a rear section built around two closely set rear wheels.
The EX1 features stylistic design codes first presented on the SR1 concept in earlier 2010. The monocoque body structure is manufactured from a carbon/honeycomb composite to optimize weight and rigidity. The car is 0.90 meters (2.95 feet) high and 1.77 meters (5.80 feet) wide.
The EX1 has broken six speed records for a vehicle weighing less than 1,000 kg (2,200 lb). From a standing start, the EX1 set the following times: 1/8 mile (8.89s), 1/4 mile (14.4s), 500m (16.81s), 1/2 mile (23.85s), 1000m (28.16s), and 1 mile (41.09s).[3] It set a 0-60 mph (0-97 km/h) run of 2.24 seconds and an overall top speed of 161 mph (259 km/h).[4]
In Taipingsi military airport in Chengdu, China, the EX1 improved those records with 7.08 seconds for the 1/8 mile, 12.67 seconds for the 1/4 mile, and 0–100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 2.24 seconds.[5][6][7][8]
