I had a toy model of this car, and always thought it was awesome! The glass 'canopy', exposed engine, scissor doors and futuristic interior are just too cool not to have, right?

Although the red interior is a bit too much red for my liking :P

Presented by Peugeot in 1984 the Quasar was a futuristic sportscar concept inspired by science-fiction spacecraft design. It was powered by a 1.6 liters biturbo engine which delivered 600hp.

The Quasar was designed at the Peugeot Styling Center in La Garenne as a pure design study.
The two-seater interior compartment also evokes the futuristic design of sci-fi spacecrafts and was finished in dark blue and red leather.

With a chassis derived from the Peugeot 205 Turbo 16, the Quasar was powered by a 4-cylinders 1.6 liters DOHC biturbo 16-valves unit equipped with an air-to-air intercooler.

The engine delivered 600 hp and a max torque of 50 kgm and was coupled to a all-wheel-drive transmission with 5-speed gearbox and traction control system. The suspension featured Formula 1-like double wishbones.

Like the other concept unveiled by Peugeot in 1984, the Quasar featured many electronic controls: onscreen warning messages, a navigation system, videotex and night-driving enhancement. The audio system was supplied by Clarion.

There's no such thing as an interior that is "too much red", or "too many Miatas". The best place in the world to be is inside a Miata with a red interior... That's why the built so few of them.

(Seriously, tho, the car is wicked cool and I hope if we don't get it, at least Peugeot will remember of it when they'll design their VGT car!)
 
-> Should we consider naming the Quasar as 205 T16 Quasar instead? Because based on 990cc's 2nd video was marked as such.


^ A Suzuki Jimny & Toyota Coaster in Colorado!? That would be the day. :indiff:
