Peugeot is preparing for a new fresh family of cars. And the first in this family will be the luxury coupe 504, that will be launched at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show.
The design will be inspired by the 308 RC Z Concept and will be similar in size with the 407.
Mechanicals are likely to be shared with Citroen’s C5, so the car could get a powerful 2.7-litre V6 diesel and air-suspension.
Peugeot is also working on successors for the 204 and 205 in an attempt to become the leading manufacturers of low-CO2 cars.

Power will start from 272 hp for the 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine and will go up to 420 hp for the V8 version.
