At first glance it looks as if it has been pulled out of a Sci-Fi movie, but the retro-futuristic design lines and the asymmetrical body shape, makes us wonder what was the designer’s main idea. The Egochine B is a car for the petrol-head of tomorrow. The man that likes to drive by himself, to feel the speed and the wind tearing of his face, the one that loves to go from point A to point B in the shortest time possible and in the most exquisite style. A man that is self-centered, a man that probably is the most concerned about the passengers safety, that chooses to drive alone then to put other people’s lives in jeopardy. Paolo De Guisti, the man behind the Egochine B, redesigned the immature and primitive shapes of the first version of this vehicle, that was among the finalists in the second design contest organized by Peugeot, into a more aggressive, stunning and elegant finish.
