Spar-Sportwagen: Steht der Peugeot RCZ vor einem Comeback?

Er war so etwas wie der Audi TT fürs schmale Budget: Mit dem RCZ hat Peugeot 2010 das Coupé-Segment aufgemischt. Jetzt steht der Zweitürer wieder im Rampenlicht – zumindest als Technologieträger.

Spar-Sportwagen: Steht der Peugeot RCZ vor einem Comeback?

Peugeot is reintroducing the RCZ at the Paris Auto Salon, ten years after its brief stint in the compact car market. Officially, the Coupé is merely a representative for Peugeot's evolving design language and a stylish housing for the new solid-state battery, which is set to become a series model across the Stellantis group. However, there is speculation that the French manufacturer may venture beyond this single prototype and produce a full-scale version.

The RCZ is expected to offer a range of over 600 kilometers, along with rapid charging capabilities, allowing it to jump from 10 to 80 percent in less than ten minutes. The 1,000 Volt system will enable these impressive features in a compact package. However, insiders suggest that Peugeot may not stop at a single production unit.

The company is reportedly considering a full-scale series version with a glass roof and the distinct roof bulges characteristic of the original 2010-2015 model, potentially bringing back the passion and excitement that defined its short but intense career.
