Welcome to the second part of our Motor Show Report in Paris, and I'd like to welcome you as well to the world...
of people who can't find anything in Ferrari's normal model range. They have to divert to the very special cars,
and there are two new ones. Both are variations on the same car.
The Monza SP1 and the Monza SP2, and they symbolize the start of a new series of cars like this.
The Icona-series. Both cars will be built in limited spec,
and it's unknown how much are going to be built. They're based on the 812 Superfast,
which means they're powered by a V12 in the front, which produces 810 horsepower.
That's an incredible amount. The difference between the two is in the seats.
The SP1 has, just like the name insinuates, one seat, so it has just one vent behind the driver.
The rest is covered up. The SP2 has two vents and seats,
separated by a carbon beam, so it's clear this car is about racing.
Both cars are supposed to remind of fast Ferrari's from the past, and that's why they don't have windshields.
You can't get it more open as this. Yes, the SP1 is lighter, but only 20 kg's,
so it's no problem to take someone with you. You're in your own little dome here,
even in the SP2. You're surrounded by bodywork.
It also features a panel aimed at the driver, and we've found something remarkable on that panel.
A button for the airconditioning. You might think that doesn't make sense in an open car,
but it's very useful to demist the windshield for example.
This car isn't entirely new, because it was on Pebble Beach. If you were there, you might've seen it,
but I wasn't there, and then it's pretty cool to look at:
the 488 Pista Spider. The open version of the hardcore version of the 488.
They already had a very sporty version of the Hyundai i30, the N. There was a sporty body style as well,
the i30 Fastback, but they didn't combine the two until now. This is the i30 Fastback N.
It's completely the same on technological level as the hatchback you already know, so it's available with 250 or 275 horsepower.
The fastest version will do 0-100 km/h in 6,1 seconds, but it's mostly about the way it drives.
It's a truly extreme machine, and the Fastback won't be an exception.
Not everybody wants an extreme i30, so that's why Hyundai presented the i30 N-Line a while ago.
That's this car. It looks like an i30 N, but it isn't. It's just show.
If that isn't extreme enough for you, they've brought this i30 N-Option to Paris.
That's filled with options which will become available for the i30 in the near future,
so that you can customize your i30 the way you want.
This 508 here behind me has two new things to tell us. First of all, it's an SW, which means it's the station wagon.
That's new. Also, it's a hybrid, and the hatchback will support a hybrid drivetrain as well.
The regular 508 now is a hatchback, or a liftback. Anyway, it isn't a saloon anymore.
But the SW is also available as a hybrid. It produces 225 horsepower and it can do 50 fully electric kilometres.
It's no longer connected to a diesel engine like before, but to a petrol engine.
And the good news is that the luggage space doesn't shrink. That means the SW is just a tad more cramped than its predecessor.
There's much more plug-in news by Peugeot, because this is the Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4.
That's returning, with a petrol engine as well. It's a 1.6-litre PureTech,
but don't be misled by it, because if you combine the petrol- and electric motors, it produces a total of 300 horsepower.
Also, it has four-wheel drive, because that's what Hybrid4 stands for.
This means there's going to be news when it comes to the DS 7 Crossback, the Opel Grandland X and the Citroën C5 Aircross,
because they're technologically similar to the 3008. Those cars will be available as plug-in hybrids as well in 2019.
If you're mad that BMW has introduced a new X5 even though you still like the old one,
you should keep an eye on Vinfast. This is supposed to be, based on the specs,
an old X5, albeit modified heavily. It's the SA 2.0, which is a complicated name,
and even though they don't say anything, but the wheelbase is exactly the same as the old X5...
and you can recognize some elements. The shape of the side view mirrors, the way the windows are,
it breathes a little BMW but the rest is completely different, or the details are, that is.
The nose is full of LED-lights and at the rear, they've implemented some, sometimes far fetched, shapes.
Lastly, there's the floating C-pillar.
I can't blame you if you don't know Vinfast yet. It's a Vietnamese manufacturer,
and besides the SUV you just saw, they want to introduce a saloon as well.
It seems that this car is based on a BMW as well. The 5-series in this case.
What's very refreshing, is that they don't want to conquer the market as another EV-brand,
like every other manufacturer does nowadays. Instead, they want to use combustion engines.
The 2.0 in the model name means that its got a 2.0-litre engine.
They're working on an EV by the way, so they're set for the future.
We're ending this video with the absolute party piece on the Peugeot-stand;
the e-Legend. Don't get angry with me because I pronounce it in English,
I was assured it's meant to be pronounced that way. It's a car which did very good on our website,
and that isn't a surprise. It looks like a modern reincarnation of the Peugeot 504.
That's a very nice car to look at to begin with, but in this modern shape, everything seems to add up.
That is, if I ask you guys. However, I do think so myself.
It looks classical with a long nose, high windows and a straight up windshield.
That's just the exterior however, because this interior... Well, you can see for yourself,
there are some classical elements on board, but we've got some modern elements as well.
The seat upholstery is based on the old upholstery in the 504, but the interior is not only meant for you to drive by yourself.
You can drive it autonomously as well, and that's when everything changes.
Everything folds away, including the pedals,
and you'll have lots of space and a huge screen.
And in both cases, Peugeot has chosen to offer two modes. When you're in autonomous mode,
you've got two modes. A quiet mode, which is meant for relaxation,
and a mode which tells you everything there is to know about the car.
When you're driving it yourself, there's a sporty mode called 'Legend'-mode, and a normal mode.
That's an important idea according to Peugeot, it's very important for the future philosophy.
According to Peugeot, people should be able to choose if they want to drive themselves or autonomously.
The drivetrain is very modern as well, more modern than the exterior might expect.
It's an electrical car producing 463 horsepower and 800 Nm of torque.
In theory, you should be able to 600 km on a single charge.
It all looks very promising. Peugeot isn't officially talking about production yet,
but I've heard that there's an internal petition at Peugeot to take it into production,
so we'll see.
And this is the end of the second part of our Motor Show Report in Paris, but stay tuned. There's more underway.
