Peugeot 908 RC

UPDATE 1 - Official press release and two new high res photos added after the jump.

Paris. Every two years, the city's exposition center transforms into an automotive theme park, with building upon building loaded with everything from cars to commercial vehicles. Since it's the French automakers' hometown show, they like to make a splash at their huge displays. Thanks to our friends at Autoblog Spanish, we've learned that for Peugeot, this year's big story will be the 908 RC concept.

A study in luxury and high-performance diesel technology, the 908 RC is a large 4-passenger sedan powered by the company's new 700-horsepower Le Mans V12 diesel. The modern, light-colored leather interior is futuristic without heading too deeply into Star Trek territory, and the car's greenhouse is expansive, featuring a panoramic windshield and glass roof.

Outside, the menacing front end is an evolution of the treatment first seen on the 907 Concept, Peugeot's 2004 Paris showstopper. Long and sleek, flying buttresses grow out of the C-pillar to give 908 RC a coupelike profile. The rear view looks great, with a substantial diffuser flanked by meaty exhaust outlets.

We'd tell you more about this stunning new French sled, but we're still waiting for the official skinny from Peugeot. In the meantime, enjoy the eye candy and book your September flight to Paris.
