Peugeot vroomster

Peugeot, who on the occasion of the Mondial de l'Automobile are launching the first international design competition on the Internet, have decided to set the tone of this event in the field of creativity by introducing four 'toys' evoking the pleasure of motoring: the 'City Toyz', one of which is the 'vroomster'.

The 'vroomster' is a tandem vehicle with the fuel tank between the driver's legs. He steers using a 'handlebar steering wheel' and, along with the passenger, is protected by an elongated windscreen. Each of them sits on a separate seat.

The body is made of carbon-fibre with foam. Each seat is fitted with three-point seat belts and running boards to facilitate getting on board.

The twin-cam sixteen-valve engine, as well as the running-gear, are based on a reasonably high-performance 206 (80 kW - 110 bhp).

This 'tough guy's' car is painted in shiny black and 'flashy' green. 3.16m long and 1.36m high, it has a wheel-base of 2.10m and a width of 1.52m.
