It’s French but that’s no reason to discriminate.
The huge freaky looking batmobile dystopian gangster car that is called the 908 RC from Peugeot was shown at the Paris Motor Show to oohs, ahhs, and guffaws.
We’ve seen exterior pics of this beast before, but now we have the full gallery.
Spec-wise the 908 RC boasts a 700-hp diesel V-12, which is the same diesel in Peugeot’s upcoming Le Mans racer.
The V-12 is also mounted transversely, in the middle rear of the car, allowing the 908's boot to be ‘uge.
Peugeot insider’s say there’s next to no chance the 908 RC will fire up a production line, but who knows. The Audi R8 just announced started off as a concept car three years ago and now takes top honours in the company’s sportscar stakes.

Contributing Journalist
Stephen Corby stumbled into writing about cars after being knocked off the motorcycle he’d been writing about by a mob of angry and malicious kangaroos. Or that’s what he says, anyway. Back in the early 1990s, Stephen was working at The Canberra Times, writing about everything from politics to exciting Canberra night life, but for fun he wrote about motorcycles.
After crashing a bike he’d borrowed, he made up a colourful series of excuses, which got the attention of the motoring editor, who went on to encourage him to write about cars instead. The rest, as they say, is his story.
Reviewing and occasionally poo-pooing cars has taken him around the world and into such unexpected jobs as editing TopGear Australia magazine and then the very venerable Wheels magazine, albeit briefly. When that mag moved to Melbourne and Stephen refused to leave Sydney he became a freelancer, and has stayed that way ever since, which allows him to contribute, happily, to CarsGuide.
