Peugeot Fractal concept

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Peugeot has unveiled the new Fractal concept ahead of the Frankfurt Motor Show. This is an electric urban coupé which explores the sense of hearing in addition to sight and touch. According to Peugeot, it makes driving "even more instinctive, creating an unparalleled on-board experience".<br /><br />It was designed by StelLab, a PSA Peugeot Citroën research unit. The Fractal concept was developed in partnership with sound designer Amon Tobin. It features a high-definition holographic head-up display screen. A 45-degree polycarbonate strip delivers additional information and creates an impression of depth. This allows the driver to customise the way information is shown.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYsYCo6bRwByz1rHu180DovqkAaZve1EvAmY9u7PSLorp_qu3A6yUeN4bBzbFfr79dHb8I5qmIUSY6GMujiLBQppaDKYCA9fNaA4c1LUYv7oD-lC8mS_leAhWqXWy95LW0SYYw98Vfr_wC/s1600/PEUGEOTFRACTAL1509STYP06.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYsYCo6bRwByz1rHu180DovqkAaZve1EvAmY9u7PSLorp_qu3A6yUeN4bBzbFfr79dHb8I5qmIUSY6GMujiLBQppaDKYCA9fNaA4c1LUYv7oD-lC8mS_leAhWqXWy95LW0SYYw98Vfr_wC/s400/PEUGEOTFRACTAL1509STYP06.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br />The concept also explores new design and manufacturing processes. 3D-printed parts represent more than 80% of the interior trim surface. The anechoic materials were made through generative design - a process used to achieve the perfect component. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHQfer9-eF_ctzffn17YVyf4uj4FKtpWnTLlQwxoNiqnlDRHtOQ9Eo1F6BwrafGvZT_CPf7_fz6txhv3_g-jPFrljWmgwS-1fBLFrw19daGP4fuBmItNc1EjMse0goSlBQRNzl8NRYFoYh/s1600/PEUGEOTFRACTAL1508TW006.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHQfer9-eF_ctzffn17YVyf4uj4FKtpWnTLlQwxoNiqnlDRHtOQ9Eo1F6BwrafGvZT_CPf7_fz6txhv3_g-jPFrljWmgwS-1fBLFrw19daGP4fuBmItNc1EjMse0goSlBQRNzl8NRYFoYh/s400/PEUGEOTFRACTAL1508TW006.jpg" /></a></div><br />A 30 kW/h lithium-ion battery powers two electric motors, each delivering 75kW/102hp, fitted to the front and rear axles to provide a total output of 125 kW/170hp and combined-cycle autonomy of up to 450km. Variable ground clearance allows the vehicle to adapt to different types of terrain. The 7cm clearance for motorway driving improves aerodynamics to range and boost battery life. This can be increased to 11cm in urban environments, allowing the car to take speed humps and car park entrances in its stride.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7M8nObjEcKAkxlrnUIc9GiC4L_Zvu1tkbjS9deBsoiQJNe_qTHnzIsV67CzdFfSjdu7edwDapcHlb7KVOP5Op5E69aTnSwdOKc0SPEy5VffFwdP2pOFkHzKEqAhOVt_CA8f4Aqjs2KTIi/s1600/PEUGEOTFRACTAL1508TW016.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7M8nObjEcKAkxlrnUIc9GiC4L_Zvu1tkbjS9deBsoiQJNe_qTHnzIsV67CzdFfSjdu7edwDapcHlb7KVOP5Op5E69aTnSwdOKc0SPEy5VffFwdP2pOFkHzKEqAhOVt_CA8f4Aqjs2KTIi/s400/PEUGEOTFRACTAL1508TW016.jpg" /></a></div><br />As for it's dimension, the car is extremely compact, at 3.81m long and 1.77m wide, allowing it to weave through heavy traffic. The 19‑inch Tall&Narrow wheels are positioned at either end of the car, with an overhang of just 0.52m front and back to improve manoeuvrability.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3Mf6J5K-edaLd-d3uP9fXweH2usXYGqg0D3l7KwS0okw57NUw8BlCkZE4IacJw7oA6UwyS5aNAOeeCAxijWnWpid2TAeEqf2qhFVLc-ACAzjBDOwf94LrNdKh-bOt8SDozDQ7RKvs418N/s1600/PEUGEOTFRACTAL1508TW017.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3Mf6J5K-edaLd-d3uP9fXweH2usXYGqg0D3l7KwS0okw57NUw8BlCkZE4IacJw7oA6UwyS5aNAOeeCAxijWnWpid2TAeEqf2qhFVLc-ACAzjBDOwf94LrNdKh-bOt8SDozDQ7RKvs418N/s400/PEUGEOTFRACTAL1508TW017.jpg" /></a></div>The car styling features dynamic lines that flow along the length of the smooth body. The Coupe Franche, a straight line dual paint finish, further enhances the sense of vitality with a sharp shift from intense pearly white to matt black at the door hinges. The upper body features a removable roof to turn the coupé into a cabriolet. An LED strip above the vent at the rear shows the battery charge status via an equalizer-type display. These LEDs also act as rear lights when PEUGEOT FRACTAL is moving. The light signature in the front starts below the grille and flows over the headlamps. It also includes scrolling indicators.<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="390" src="http://embed.isebox.net/cxi0KotU?size=640,360&link=1" width="640"></iframe></div>
