100年前的1916年5月30日，由Dario Resta驾驶的标致L45获得了印地500冠军。在100年后，为了纪念这一荣誉以及展示对于未来赛车的构想，标致推出了L500 R Hybrid款概念车。这款极富未来主义风格的概念车由标致运动车部门开发，标致此举不仅希望能延续L45所创作的辉煌，而且希望能参加未来的赛事。虽然L45为双座设计，但这款车采用浮动胶囊座舱和单座设计，更小的方向盘和全息i-Cockpit双显示屏。该车采用插电混动系统，包括一台270马力汽油引擎和分别设置在车身前后的双电机，综合输出功率为368千瓦/500马力，扭矩730牛米，百公里加速时间2.5秒，最初1000米加速时间19秒。这款超轻混动车重量仅为1000公斤，由于高度仅为1米，因此在路面行驶时犹如粘在路面上。

 

Futuristic Peugeot L500 R Hybrid pays tribute to 100-year-old race car

Almost a century ago on May 30, 1916, the Peugeot L45 driven by Dario Resta took the win at the famous Indy 500 after managing an impressive average speed of 83.8 mph (135 kph). Fast forward to present day, Peugeot is celebrating the achievement by introducing the L500 R Hybrid concept which represents the brand’s vision of tomorrow’s racing.

 

The radically-styled L500 R Hybrid developed by Peugeot Sport is a tribute to the successful L45 and tries to see into the future of racing with a driver compartment engineered to form an individual floating capsule within the bodywork. While the L45 was a two-seater, the L500 R Hybrid is a more focused single-seater race car with a small steering wheel and a holographic i-Cockpit with two displays projected in dual discs.

 

Peugeot Sport has envisioned the concept with a powerful plug-in hybrid setup that combines a 270-hp gasoline engine with dual electric motors, one mounted at the front and the other in the back. The hardware arrangement is capable of delivering a combined output of 500 hp (368 kW) and 539 pound-feet (730 newton meters) of torque.

 

The hybrid punch helps the L500 R catapult from 0 to 62 mph (100 kph) in only two and a half seconds and cover 1,000 meters (0.62 miles) in just 19 seconds. The ultra-lightweight hybridized race car tips the scales at only 1,000 kilograms (2,204 pounds) and appears to be glued to the road thanks to the remarkably low height of only one meter (39.3 inches).
