Peugeot L500 R Hybrid aims to bring intense driving sensations, the low body hugs the asphalt to deliver full potential right from pullaway. The body features wide track and low profile (with only 1-meter high) design, the weigh is only 1,000kg, it needs just 2.5 seconds to reach 100km/h from standstill and less than 20 seconds to cover 1,000 meters.
