The Peugeot EX1 Concept is an electric concept car developed by the French automaker Peugeot, introduced at the 2010 Paris Motor Show.
Design
Developed as part of Peugeot’s 200th anniversary celebrations, the EX1 Concept is a 2-door roadster with two electric motors that provide 250 kW (335 hp) and 480 N⋅m (354 lbf⋅ft) of torque.[1][2] The monocoque body structure is manufactured from a carbon/honeycomb composite to optimize weight and rigidity, with a smaller rear track than the front. The car is 0.90 meters (3.0 feet) high and 1.77 meters (5.8 feet) wide.
Performance
The EX1 broke six speed records for an electric vehicle weighing less than 1,000 kg (2,200 lb). From a standing start, the EX1 recorded 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 recorded 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]
At the Taipingsi military airport in Chengdu, China, the EX1 improved upon several of those records, recording 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]
