Around February 22 Top Gear Magazine got to drive the new concept car From the French car company Peugeot. And unlike most concept cars this one could actually drive quite fast like in a 600bhp, 3.7 V8 diesel out of their 2012 908 Le Mans race car. To help the giant engine there is a very well made sequential gear box operated by paddle shifters. Also the Onyx only weighs 2,425lbs with bronze body panels but it does have a carbon-fiber chassis. The power-to-weight ratio is 545bhp/tone which is a little more then a "normal" Bugatti Vayron. It is also very good in the corners, with suspension that handles well but somehow is also very comfortable. Specially since the Onyx has 20 inch rims and low profile tires. Unfortunately the Onyx is worth over $1,306,380 and will most likely not be built but we can only hope for the best.
