Designed to compliment the iconic Peugeot Lion, Liviu Tudoran has created a conceptual battery powered vehicle which could in theory reach speeds of up to 160 km/h and have a range of approximately 500km on a single charge. Developed under the theme “Imagine the Peugeot in the Worldwide Megalopolis of Tomorrow,” the conceptual vehicle is entitled Leonin, rather appropriately!
The Leonin, is a futuristic car that came to life in the fifth Peugeot design competition. The Leonin is a hybrid car that gained its name from the behavior of a lion. It comes with a battery below its hood and an electric engine in the back.

It features bright orange trims that make the dark and orange combo look spectacular. The doors open upwards to reveal a comfortable cabin for two. The highlight however is the orange band that goes over the rear wheels.
The body of the car is finished with aluminum composite, hard plastic, carbon fiber and glass, giving a foolproof protection to commuters in case of an accident. Replacing the interior rearview mirror, the hybrid features an LCD screen in the main console to display the video captured by the hi-resolution camera located at the rear of the car. The Leonin would set you back something between €18,000 and €25,000, according to the intensity of technology and equipment used in the car.
