Det här är Peugeot Polygon
Att biltillverkare ofta skapar konceptbilar som de gladeligen visar upp för att skvallra lite om hur deras designmässiga framtid ser ut, är såklart inget nytt. Franska Peugeot är de senaste som visat upp deras nya designspråk i form av konceptbilen Polygon, som även finnes i Fortnite just nu. Du som hängt med i Peugeots designhistoria ser du såklart delar av 208:an samt 206:an, plus en massa futuristiskt gorm, såklart.
Från det officiella pressmeddelandet:
"With POLYGON CONCEPT, PEUGEOT's Hypersquare® becomes a tangible reality, allowing drivers to discover the benefits and unique driving pleasure this new technology delivers. For over a century, motorists have driven with the traditional circular steering wheel. Today, with Hypersquare®, PEUGEOT breaks the mould and reimagines the wheel entirely. Hypersquare® is more than a new shape - it's a new ergonomic approach to the PEUGEOT i-Cockpit® and a fully electronic control system for the vehicle.
It's paired with Steer-by-Wire electronic steering technology - no mechanical link between the steering and the wheels, just pure electronic control. This technology, proven in the aerospace industry, will be available on a production PEUGEOT vehicle from 2027. Beyond traditional power steering, the system innovates by adjusting steering ratio based on speed. At low speeds - for parking or turning around - Hypersquare® allows quick, easy manoeuvres without moving your hands or making multiple turns (with a maximum rotation of 170° in each direction - totalling just under a full turn - compared with three full turns with a traditional wheel)."
