One stone. One renegade, anarchic stone. A stone of dissent, you might think, intent on bringing the zero-emission, tree-hugging future crashing down on our heads.
Yesterday, for a couple of minutes, TG witnessed the electric potential of the future. An electric supercar capable of matching the Bugatti Veyron to 62mph. Then Stone arrived, and TG witnessed the power of fate conspiring against The Future.
What you see above is the EX1, and what it represents is a show of arms from a manufacturer desperate to reinvent itself. This year marks 200 years of Peugeot, and the EX1 is the third and final instalment in a monster birthday bash which included a new badge design and two racing RC-Zs taking class honours at this year’s Nurburgring 24hr race.
The covers were pulled from the EX1, Peugeot’s one-off, concept supercar built to set a new electric benchmark. First a gasp, then applause. There was lots of patting on the back. And if you believe Peugeot, there was also a palpable sense that the electric car world was, if you excuse the unavoidable pun, about to get shocked.
