Peugeot decided to lend one of their proud sports cars, the RCZ R, to Italian bike manufacturer Bimota. The result? The car you see above: the Peugeot RCZ R by Bimota. Needless to say, Bimota used their sports bike expertise to buff up the R a bit; the engine is now packing 300 hp thanks to a reworked turbocharger, as well as modifications to the ECU and the exhaust. The car also has a special livery, a red and white body with a small Italian flag over the rear wheels.
Interior-wise, this new R comes with a few changes; the rear "seats" (using the term loosely here) have been replaced by a storage compartiment for your bike helmets, and the colour red now appears in gauges and seat stitching. And to show your friends how fast you can go, two GoPro cameras (one front-mounted, the other one rear-mounted) have been added to the car.
Unfortunately, before you run to your nearest Peugeot dealer, I am afraid I have to bring the bad news. The car is a one-off concept, created for the Bologna Bike Show in Italy. So this mad R will be an unique R, and odds are that we might not see one on the roads soon...
