To coincide with this year's French Open, Peugeot has released the 207 CC Roland Garros. The yellow coupe+convertible is latest in a line of special models released in conjunction with the tourney, and uses edition-specific badging, interior trim, color, plus features such as A/C and navigation to help lure customers. Power comes from the NA 1.6i 120-horsepower four-cylinder co-developed with BMW and also used in the MINI Cooper. Turbocharged and diesel engines are, of course, offered for the regular 207 CC, which you can read all about here.

Paris Preview: Peugeot 207 EPURE Concept

The Peugeot 207 EPURE concept looks like a production car because, for the most part, it is. What you see is the new Peugeot 207 CC ... almost. A peek underhood reveals the "concept" part of this little French bulldog: it's powered by a fuel cell.

The car's name is an obvious nod toward it's green credentials, and Peugeot used the car's colors to help communicate that theme as well. The white paint, white leather interior, and soft "absinthe" green carpeting and accents communicate the cleanliness associated with its alternative fuel source. Some interior features are concept-specific, such as the instrumentation used to monitor the car's power sources. In addition to that, a lot of the leather-covered interior surfaces will likely be hide-free when the production 207 CC bows.

Peugeot says that it was natural to use a convertible as the platofrm here because the open air dirving experience is most enhanced by the car's quiet operation and emissions-free nature. The power source is a GENEPAC 20 (20 kW) fuel cell that is fed by five 15-liter hydrogen cylinders stored at the bottom of the car's trunk. The fuel cell powers the EPURE's electric motor (Peak power: 95 hp / 133 lb-ft) and recharges its 50 kW Lithium-Ion battery.
