The
Peugeot
Oxia from 1988 was a fully functioning prototype with spectacular
performance. Designed by Gerard Welter, the Oxia was instantly
recognisable as a Peugeot with its slit-like headlights and
slatted grille with the Lion emblem mounted in the center.
The lightweight carbon fibre body of the Peugeot Oxia came complete
with an enormous adjustable rear spoiler helping to keep the
car glued to the road. Under the Oxia's skin was a 2.85 litre,
680 horsepower turbocharged V6 engine, six-speed gearbox, permanent
four wheel drive system, electronically controlled axle differentials
and automatic tire pressure monitors.
