2000 Peugeot 607 Feline

The 607 Féline expresses, in a unique style, the urgency of automotive pleasure to be consumed without moderation, hair blowing in the wind or eccentrically seated in the luminous silence of a refrigerated cabin bubble.

In contrast to the comfortable luxury of the Paladine, yet without disputing the stylistic kinship of the sedan, from which it borrows its eye design, reinforcing it with the brilliance of a diamond and the mobile acuity of insects' faceted eyes, the 607 Féline is a true concentration of dynamism, in both form and content.

Its shark-like flanks, highlighted by gills ready to swallow the air it passes through with its aerodynamic fluidity, leave no doubt about its road-going capabilities.

At 4.07 m long, the aptly named car offers the same wheelbase as the sedan, resulting in extremely short overhangs. This muscular front-wheel drive car hides a longitudinally mounted V-6 engine beneath its very long hood, borrowed from the sedan. With unique double-wishbone and rocker suspensions at the front, this two-seater car, weighing less than 900 kg, could deliver tantalizing performance thanks to its power-to-weight ratio. Standing on its four wheels, shod with large-diameter (730 mm) Michelin Pax tires (allowing it to run flat), the 607 Féline, whose carbon fiber body is made of aircraft-style honeycomb panels, can be driven with the windshield closed, partially or fully open, thanks to unique openings. The doors disappear into the fenders, the windshield can slide, and the rear windshield can be retracted.
