Peugeot had been forced to turn its factories to war production for
the nazis, but the development office was buzzing with secret postwar
projects. The vLv was produced overtly and described in the press.
It was a small two-seater cabriolet with a folding roof and doors,
incorporating side windows that were raised by a lever in the door. It
was of revolutionary construction, a steel monocoque with only two
reinforcing strips under the floor. Front suspension was by a transverse
leaf spring, and the two rear wheels were only a foot apart, sharing a
single brake drum. The electric motor was powered by four batteries
under the front hood, totalling 48 volts and 82 amp-hour capacity.
These constituted half of the 770 pound weight of the car.
