The Peugeot Asphalte is a concept designed purely for
the sports car enthusiast.
The Asphalte's unusual tapering body with inset rear wheels
was originally intended to house three wheels, however
to improve performance and reliability the designers added
a fourth. Consequently the Asphalte is the only car in
the world which when viewed from behind, reveals its four
wheels.
Peugeot designed the Asphalte to magnify the driving experience
and as such the concept sits just centimeters from the
floor, and the passengers are protected by only a small
wind deflector.
The Asphalte's interior makes room for either a driver
and passenger or just the driver – the passenger
seat can be hidden. The driver has full adjustment over
the steering wheel and pedals to make the interior feel
even more like a cockpit.
Almost 10 years after the Asphalte appeared, Peugeot revived
the spirit of the concept with the 2005 concept Peugeot
20Cup seen at the Frankfurt Auto Show. A true three
wheeler with more than a hint of Asphalte style.
