Some may name them ‘oldies’ these days, however nostalgic emotions, particularly across the holidays, have a really totally different flavour. So then, it have to be no coincidence that just lately, a brand new model of the Quasar, the historic Nineteen Eighties idea, seems on the Instagram profile of Peugeot’s head of design, Matthias Hossann.
After all, many people weren’t even born in 1984, however the Quasar, a 600 PS racing prototype, continued to star on posters and journal covers for greater than a decade. And so, to mark its first 40 years, Peugeot has determined to revive it below the banner of #LegendReborn.

In different phrases, there isn’t any actual bodily foundation, so it’s pointless to invest about what sort of powertrain, drivetrain or platform the automotive might need. It is a styling train, that is all. And Hossann himself makes it clear: there isn’t any want – but – to hurry to the dealership. In our opinion, there isn’t any probability that this mannequin will likely be produced, not even in a small sequence, identical to the Quasar within the Nineteen Eighties.
