A few weeks ago, a former colleague of mine told me about Peugeot bringing in a very interesting piece some time this year. It wasn't until recently that she managed to give me a name for that new model. It's the Peugeot RCZ. The model name sounds more appropriate for one of my RC cars but that aside, the car is absolutely stunning!

Those voluptuous curves look like an automotive representation of how Liv Tyler would be if she had four wheels and an engine. On closer inspection though you start to see some subtle hints of the Audi TT's design cues. Just to add to the individuality, Peugeot will be offering owners a choice of different trims to go with their posemobile. Including an option for a carbon fibre roof, roof arches in different colours (like matt black, polished black, dark grey, diamante) and black lacquered body parts at the front, carbon door mirror covers, bodywork detailing.

Peugeot is selling it as a 2+2 and we all know what that means right? It's essentially a two seater with a pair of child seats in the back. The kind of seats where you only put kids that are not your own. Despite the refreshingly sensuous curves, the car is still mostly 308 underneath.

Power is derived from a 1.6-litre turbocharged unit that churns out 156bhp at 5800rpm. Like I said earlier, this is more of a posemobile than an all out performance model from the French manufacturer. But with such good looks, why would you want be a flash of insignificance when you can take in the admiring glances as you take your time to cruise by?

Nevertheless I can't wait to get my hands on this Pug considering how much fun I had shooting the equally pretty 308CC awhile back.

Peugeot has been developing RC series concept cars for quite some time already. Previous RC concepts were radical in design and even had diesel engines but no intention of production. This one on the other hand is likely to make it to production.

really TT like appearance.. but the roof design (with 2 bulges) really makes the car looks more exclusive and expensive..... how come audi didn't think of this? ..the glass must be very expensive ....hehe

  • Godzilla Minus One: Surprisingly emotional and poignant

    When one thinks of Godzilla movies, one imagines an oversized amphibious dinosaur generating a terrifying heat ray from its mouth and fighting with other oversized monsters. Meh, nothing special, right? Wrong. Here’s why Godzilla Minus One should be an action movie you should definitely catch. In this version, the timeless clash between monster and man is once again set against the tumultuous backdrop of post-war Japan. But, unlike typical action films that dive headfirst into destruction a

    The enduring charm of Singapore wet markets

    I know I’m idealising it all - as a not-so-young millennial that can’t remember the last time he cooked a full meal for himself. (That was probably a good two years ago.) But moving on slightly from morning walks now, the space I’ve found myself frequenting when I feel like I need a break from the routines of everyday life (or to simply clear my head) isn’t the park. It’s the basement level of Punggol Plaza. That a wet market even exists here should be surprising. Punggol, after all, is qui

    5 ways the Polestar 2 Core Edition proves less can be more

    With a less-is-more approach, the Polestar 2 Core Edition offers a more value-for-money entry into the Swedish brand.  What first comes to mind when you think of Sweden? IKEA, and probably ABBA. But there's plenty more that has come out of Sweden besides flat-pack furniture, meatballs and impossibly-catchy pop songs. Founded as a standalone brand just eight years ago and headquartered in Torslanda, Sweden, Polestar is a design-forward electric performance brand that wants to put its Sc

    The Music that Shaped Me, Pt. 2

    Note: If you’ve stumbled onto this post without any context, do read Pt. 1 here first! It is said that the average person’s music taste starts to solidify early on in their adult lives, and by their early 30s they will begin to say things like “Music was better in my day”, “>insert your favourite artist or genre< is not real music”, something to that effect. Of course, I am speaking generally. With four more years to go till I hit 30, I’d like to think I try to expand my tastes o
