Peugeot unveils Flux concept

08/30/2007, 4:18 PM

By Drew Johnson

The winner of Peugeot’s 4th annual design competition, the Flux, will make its debut at September’s Frankfurt Auto Show. Chosen from over 4,000 entries, the Flux was designed by Mihai Panaitescu. The Flux concept was designed using the P.L.E.A.S.E. acronym, which stands for pleasure, lightweight, efficiency, accessibility, simplicity and ecology.

In addition to being shown in Frankfurt, the Flux will also appear in the the upcoming Xbox 360 video game, Project Gothem Racing 4. No further details have been released.

Is this a Flex or a Flux?
Maybe I’m reading it all flucked up, but I’m flucking confused.

Also, it looks so near to production it’ll probably be on the streets this November. Yeahhhhh. Ouiiiiiii.

French take on the KTM X-bow. Kind of makes an Elise look outdated.

It’s Flux, LLN. Minor mistake in the title.

Those seats look so uncomfortable, and the interiors neat but where’s all the dials and such? Will it appear on that bit of glass in the middle of the dashboard? And I’m guessing that’s an Xbox in the dashboard…

I don’t understand why car companies are advertising their cars with game systems built in. Most older buyers view it as a hazard, silly and something marketed torwards young kids, something they wouldn’t want.

The design is what I like though. It looks really original, and a very unique design. I like the general outline of the car, very aerodynamic looking. Kudos to the design team, but they should think about going for a different generic market with the car- a more premium one.

French should stick to making perfumes, clothes and wine.

Leave cars to Japanese, Germans and the Americans.

It looks like Peugeot has perfected the art of folding plastic into automotive shapes: carigami. And an XBox in this car is just stupid. In a French car it must be a Wii.

The french should stick to being pussies and smoking cigarettes. This vehicle is ridiculous.

I hope that this is not the future of automobiles. Those tupperware cars cannot be safe. I can see that I will be sticking to the classics. This car will never be one. To be a classic, it must first have class.

Nice, to bad Peugout won’t build it cause it will lower their safety standards. That would be bad because all the kids high off of X would be driving it like Gran Turismo and crash AND ask where’s the reset button, only to realise that St. Peter isn’t laughing with them

Definetly some Solstice inspiration in the front end.

The Peugeot design contest is not meant to produce new cars, only dwell on the inspiration of professionals and amateurs alike, to produce someone’s dream. Aside a cash prize, the real prize of this contest is that the Peugeot team of designers will make this into a real, albeit not working car. Inspiration from the Solstice is probable, as is from Venturi’s Fetish dream car. As for the french should stick to wines, clothing and perfume, i can only laugh at such idiotic remarks. Truly redneck, uneducated, war-mongering tipe of talk…
