As far as body design, there is a definite reminder of the Geneva 2002 
Peugeot show car, the RC Pique and Carreau. The red car (RC Carreau) is 
a >60 mpg diesel, a very green car indeed (plus it has the particulate 
filter found on the Peugeot 607), yet it does 0-100 km/h (roughly 0-60 
mph) in 6 seconds with it's 2L 4 cylinder diesel (175 hp, 400 nm 
torque!). A 140 mph capable 4 cyl diesel, so much for diesel being slow...
