The Peugeot Delta concept was an entrant into the 2008 Peugeot Design Contest. The design was created by Ben Eden.

The Peugeot Delta is a four-door, four-seat compact car which draws styling cues from waves moving across the surface of the sea.

The glass roof of the Peugeot Delta, which helps flood the interior with light, can be switched from transparent to opaque and back again at the flick of a switch. The roof also incorporates subtle wavy neon lights which underline the wave influence and provide a light source for the interior. Access to the Peugeot Delta concept is through remotely operated upward swinging doors. The mechanism which powers this extravagant entry method is housed in the 'wave' part of the body work.

Inside the Peugeot Delta concept the passengers are met with rotating seats which aid entry and exit of the vehicle. The rear seats can also be removed to increase cargo space. The steering wheel features an innovative touch-screen LCD display which is mounted in the centre and displays vital driving information. This unit is fixed and does not rotate with the steering wheel - for obvious reasons! The LCD screen can be turned off and the gauges that lie behind it used on their own to maintain a more relaxing atmosphere.

Powering the Peugeot Delta concept are two hydrogen fuel cells. These are positioned at the front and rear of the vehicle to help create a balanced weight distribution. In order to further improve fuel efficiency and boost performance the Delta is constructed from lightweight materials. The body is formed from aluminium, and the grey colored wheel arch extensions and door panels are made from fiberglass.
