• Stunning Peugeot 907 GT supercar concept to feature in the Goodwood Festival of Speed Supercar Run
• 6.0 litre, V12 engine produces 500 bhp
• Carbon fibre construction

The Peugeot 907 – a V12 GT coupé concept, which made its debut at the 2004 Paris Motor Show – is making its UK debut at the prestigious Goodwood Festival of Speed over the first weekend in July. Powered by a 6.0-litre 500 bhp V12 engine, the one-off carbon fibre concept is being demonstrated in the Supercar Run at approximately 1.20 pm on Saturday and Sunday, 8th and 9th July*.

The 907 concept was developed as the archetypal grand touring car – a two-seater coupé – and is thoroughly modern but with a classic twist. With a nod to the era of the great coachbuilders, this stunning coupé embodies one of the great engineering dreams of combining a large capacity engine within a classical shape, achieving a genuine synergy of advanced technology and motoring tradition.

The carbon fibre bodyshell features an integral glass roof and front windscreen harmonised with the rear windscreen. Side vents are situated in the front wings and rear quarter panels, while a retractable rear spoiler is incorporated in the tailgate.

Tantalisingly, a glazed panel set into the bonnet reveals 12 intake trumpets that hint at the power that exists beneath. Two exhaust pipes emerge from either side of the car, which is equipped with 18" wheels and Michelin tyres, 275/40 at the front and 345/35 at the rear. The wheelbase of this GT coupé is 2500 mm, with an overall length of 4370 mm and a width of 1880 mm. The 907 has a kerb weight of just 1400 kg, generating a power-to-weight ratio of 347 bhp/tonne.

The interior is designed to provide comfort for two occupants and is trimmed in brown leather and light grey Alcantara trim. The steering wheel rim and the gear lever knob have authentic wood inlays.

* The 907 will also be running on Friday around 10 am and 2.20 pm before free practice.

Peugeot is exhibiting at Goodwood in a prime position, directly opposite Goodwood House, with a range of its latest products – the newest being the 207 hatchback, displayed with the race-inspired 207R Cup concept.
