Peugeot will be showcasing its new hybrid concept at the Paris Motor show, described as a "working laboratory of ... future ideas".

The RC, whose full name will be revealed when the event in Paris starts, is a GT coupe, with four doors, four seats and an "innovative" hybrid architecture.

Peugeot is aiming for a very high level of efficiency with the RC, both in terms of performance and impact on the environment.

The concept currently has a potential maximum power output of 313 bhp and CO2 emissions of 109 g/km in the combined cycle and zero (in electric mode).

The PR blurb says: "...It is an exciting, eco-efficient vehicle which has all the characteristics that also ensure great driving enjoyment; a synthesis of ideas which demonstrates that respect for the environment and driving pleasure can be compatible."
