The Peugeot 907 is a GT coupé, created with reference to
the past, the present and the future.
This is the
archetypal touring car, discreet, but processing a sculpted and elegant
shape, luxurious on account of the choice of materials it incorporates,
and also extremely sporty as a result of its styling and its unrivalled
engineering credentials. The 907 is a two-seater coupé, modern but also
classic. As in the time of the great coachbuilders, this coupé embodies
one of the finest engineering dreams of combining a large capacity
engine within a classical shape, achieving a genuine synergy of advanced
technology and motoring tradition.
The 6.0
litre V12 engine (368 kW or 500 bhp) is positioned longitudinally behind
the front axle; connected by a small propshaft, it transmits its power
to a six-speed gearbox placed longitudinally in front of the rear axle.
The
wheelbase of this GT coupé is 2.50 m, its length 4.37 m, its width 1.88
m, while its height culminates at 1.21 m and its passenger compartment,
designed to accommodate two people comfortably, is situated just ahead
of the rear axle to allow for a long bonnet. The kerb weight is around 1
400 kg.
The
structure consists principally of a carbon fibre shell, to which the
mechanical components, for example, the four double wishbone suspension
units, are attached. Set into the bonnet, a glazed panel reveals twelve
intake trumpets reminiscent of a fairground organ.
Brown
leather and light grey alcantara trim is used to cover both the interior
and the seats. The steering wheel rim and the gear lever knob have
authentic wood inlays.
