While performance SUVs may currently be the thing", the sports saloon isn"t dead yet. In fact this Peugeot 508 Peugeot Sport Engineered suggests it"s very much being futureproofed. It"s a Geneva Motor Show concept that previews the next Peugeot Sport model. Following the excellent 308 GTI and exquisite 208 GTI, it has quite some shoes to fill. With its petrol-electric drivetrain offering 400bhp, it sounds like it ought to manage. That comes from a combination of a 197bhp 1.6-litre turbo four and 110bhp electric motor operating on the front axle, and an additional 200bhp motor driving the rear axle. So yep, it"s four-wheel drive, ensuring all of that horsepower should be put to reasonable use.
