Peugeot Oxia concept (1988)
Concept car · 1988 · Combustion
A 670bhp mid-engined supercar from outer space
Named after a plain on Mars, the Oxia was Peugeot's most ambitious concept of the 1980s: a carbon and Kevlar-bodied mid-engined supercar with four-wheel drive and four-wheel steering. Its twin-turbo V6 was potent enough to surpass Peugeot's own top-speed expectations, and it previewed on-board technology like a card-key ignition and satellite navigation years before they reached showrooms.
