  Remember the sleek, full-bodied concept Peugeot delivered to us back in March at the Geneva Motor Show? That concept is back, but it is coming to us as a new concept in the form of the H1. The name is just a codename, but Gilles Vidal, Peugeot’s design boss, will be unveiling the concept at the Paris Motor Show in October. According to Autocar UK, the sportscar will have post-207 styling cues and will also feature PSA Peugeot-Citroen’s diesel hybrid technology. It will carry similar dimensions as found in Citroen’s 4.3 meter DS4 and will use a front end similar to the one found on the 208 Supermini. Gilles Vidal stated that Peugeot’s "wide-mouthed frog" look was coming to an end and that future Peugeot cars will have smaller lights and grills as well as be more sculpted with lighter looking shapes and a better stance. The SR1 concept was powered by Peugeot’s HYbrid4 technology consisting of a 1.6 Liter THP gas burning lump that makes 218 HP up front combined with an electric motor developing an additional 95 HP at the rear. .

 This one is definitely looking good for Peugeot. Certainly something that a lot of people would want to see in the production lines.
 sweet, gorgeous and classy looking car, I guess they also want to beat the Japanese car on the Roadster line.
 I think this is a very nice car - Like virtually all new Citroen. I am a real fan of this DS range as they enter some new things in design.
 I admit I know nothing of car design - so I’m at a loss to explain just what it is about this car that makes me enjoy the looks of it so much. Lines? Curves? Proportions? Who cares about the justifications...just let me have one! NICE JOB!
 I really like the new Citroen... like the new C3 and the DS3, this one is also a nice piece of work in styling.
