<strong>PEUGEOT</strong> TORQUE<br />

SMALL TORQUE<br />

Do you know your<br />

Peugeots?<br />

from David Dunsmuir<br />

Answers to August Quiz<br />

Photo 1 was a Peugeot Camelo<br />

Concept (307) which later became the<br />

307 in 2001.<br />

Photo 2 was the Peugeot Promethee<br />

Concept of 2001. The new Peugeot<br />

Promethee is a concept car that<br />

gives a flavour of Peugeot’s design<br />

direction in the near future. Said Tod<br />

Evans, Peugeot’s MD, ‘Promethee<br />

incorporates a laboratory of ideas but<br />

it is real enough to project us into<br />

what’s possible tomorrow.’<br />

The vehicle demonstrates the marque’s<br />

new face and is powered by one of the<br />

cleanest ever diesel engines in the UK<br />

- Peugeot’s HDi unit with particulate<br />

filter. The MPV-style body showcases<br />

a variety of ideas including a new type<br />

of sliding rear door and split level boot.<br />

Bébé Torque<br />

<strong>THE</strong> Peugeot Bébé from 1912 was a small<br />

real car, not a cycle car cobbled together<br />

with a motor cycle engine and bits of wire. The<br />

prototype was designed by Bugatti who sold<br />

the design to Peugeot.<br />

The prototype is in the Schlumph Museum in<br />

Mulhouse France and has the typical Bugatti<br />

radiator.<br />
