4-Wheel Drive or 4-Fin Drive?

In an effort to conquer land, sea, and air, Peugeot has developed Sea Drive, the first ever SUV/water boat integrated concept. In conjunction with well-renowned ship manufacturer Beneteau, Peugeot has brought a new dimension to the future concepts of water transportation. It’s evident here that these French car manufacturers wish to hold on to the gorgeous interior layout seen across multiple SUV models in their current range.

The long blade-like fins that find themselves darting away from the main body add an edgy complement to the already sport-like interior. When admiring this aquatic athlete, be sure not to neglect the elegant wooden deck across the nose of the boat which wraps around the driver’s side and fills the rear panel. It may not be the perfect boat to crack open a bottle of wine and indulge in some exquisite French cheese. However, it’s certainly the right boat to do absolutely everything else.

Peugeot promises fuel-saving Hybrid Air system in cars by 2016

Puegeot promises fuelsaving Hybrid Air system in cars by 2016

It's far from the first automaker to attempt a car that runs on compressed air, but Peugeot Citroen is now touting a new system that it says could be available in at least some of its small cars by 2016. As suggested by the "Hybrid Air" moniker, this system doesn't run solely on air -- it also incorporates a traditional gasoline engine that Peugeot promises will combine for a 90 percent increase in vehicle range in urban driving, or offer up to 50 minutes of driving without using any gas. The gas engine would kick in more often during highway driving, putting the overall fuel savings at around 35 percent. As Peugeot notes, this system is just one step towards its goal of a car that gets 2L/100KM (or 117 miles per gallon), which it hopes to achieve by 2020. You can get a quick overview of the Hybrid Air system in the video after the break.
