Peugeot Ozone


Most of the car concepts I see today tend to adopt a more aerodynamic shape. But in order to provide enough power to make a car go as fast as possible, you need to use some sort of fossil fuel. However, car constructors are trying to provide alternative ways to power your car, as the green house effect leading to global warming has become an important issue. For instance, in a hydrogen-powered car, fuel cells turn hydrogen into electricity, so that they completely do away with the use of fossil fuels. Moreover, these hydrogen-based engines are unbelievably efficient as well as clean and safe. One of the latest “green” cars conceptualized by Peugeot is the Ozone car, not your aerodynamic fast car anymore, but it’s a peculiar concept nonetheless.

Gizmodo tells us that this hydrogen powered fuel cell transportation vehicle seems to be addressing kids, rather than adults. The whole barrel-like structure is encased between two giant wheels that are controlled by two separate electric motor powered by fuel cells.



The car comes with only two seats and it can be controlled via a joystick panel in the dashboard. Although it seems awkward at first, the design with a semi transparent glass casing offers a great interior volume and exterior view. In case you want to get in or out of it, all you need is to activate the huge glass doors that slide 360 degrees into the symmetric metal body.

The buff book’s sources report Ferrari is looking to see the Ferrari Millechili hit the streets as a 2010 model.One approach is reportedly being based on the Millechili concept, which as you’ll recall was essentially a chopped-down Enzo crafted out of cardboard and plastic holding the promise of environmentally-friendly specs. The production vehicle is tipped to be based on the F430’s platform remember that the 288 GTO and F40 were based on modified 308 underpinnings – but feature a 600hp V10 in a lightweight 1000kg package, with a lengthened wheelbase of around 104 inces, a $500,000 price tag and a production run of 300.
