Peugeot reveals two new concept cars

Peugeot introduced two concept vehicles at the Paris Motor Show on October 11, 2026: the E-T16 Concept and the RCZ Vision. These concepts highlight the company’s direction in electric vehicle design and performance.

E-T16 Concept honors rally racing history

The E-T16 Concept is inspired by the 205 T16, a world rally champion from the 1980s, and previews the upcoming electric version of the 208, expected in 2027. It combines retro styling with modern electric technology.

E-T16’s performance and technology

The E-T16 Concept has 816 horsepower from three electric motors, allowing it to go from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds. It uses an 85 kWh battery and an 800V system, offering a 400 km range under the WLTP standard.

Innovative features in E-T16

The concept includes a rectangular Hypersquare steering wheel with a central screen for telemetry data and "side cooling" technology to maintain performance during high-speed driving. Its design elements, like widened wings and a red retro-lit line, echo the 205 T16’s appearance.

RCZ Vision returns as electric concept

The RCZ Vision is a fully electric coupe concept with 500 horsepower. It retains the original RCZ’s double-bubble roof and arches and is based on the STLA One platform with a solid-state battery from Factorial Energy.

RCZ Vision’s advanced features

The RCZ Vision offers up to 600 km of range and can charge from 10 to 80% in under ten minutes. It includes a steer-by-wire system, brake-by-wire, and a Hypersquare steering wheel, with MicroLED screens and a level L2++ hands-free driving system in the interior.

RCZ Vision showcases future tech

While the RCZ Vision is not expected to be mass-produced, it highlights future Peugeot technologies, including the Hypersquare steering wheel, which will appear in the next generation of the e-208. The interior uses recycled leather and a watch from the French brand Serica.

No pricing or production details provided

Peugeot did not announce pricing or production timelines for either concept, focusing instead on showcasing their technological advancements and design philosophies.
