Or the 406 Coupé or other mythical three-door vehicles from the French house. The problem is that since the 407 Coupé was no longer for sale, Peugeot has not put a model of this type up for sale again. The RCZ was also another of the last examples that if the French house is put, it makes well-made sports coupes. All in all, the restyling of its D-segment sedan makes us wonder if… Would a new Peugeot 508 Coupé be viable?
And the answer is that "in our dreams yes". You will wonder why? Well, because with a very low expense, minimal if you hurry us, they can put a dynamic vehicle in their catalog that will surely attract customers or at least call them. The problem is that «now the sporty are the «SUVs» and not only that: they are the only ones who leave money. So X-Tomi Design has created this render of the Peugeot 508 Coupe but does it make sense?
For now, and in a long time, there is no possibility that a Peugeot 508 Coupé will see the commercial light…
For economically and financially a Peugeot 508 Coupé does not make sense. Although its development "roughly" is very simple: remove the rear doors and adjust the setup of the suspensions. Logically there is another series of factors that come into play and that cause its price to increase, but sharing a base and a large part of the mechanical offer, the "business" could turn out well for Peugeot. Of course, Alfa Romeo would not see it very well.
With everything, to shape the render X-Tomi Design has started from one of the official photos that Peugeot has published. In it we can see that it has removed the rear doors to give it the necessary coupé touch. And they are not the only elements that it modifies because the design of the side windows has changed. And even there, since this creator has not wanted to touch an iota of the design that the attractive alloy wheels look like.
The problem would be that if Peugeot made our dream come true What mechanical range should accompany the new 508 Coupé? The access versions 1.2 PureTech and 1.5 BlueHDi don't match, but of course, going to the hybrid of the PSE version would make its price exorbitant. So perhaps it would be best to find the middle ground where the virtue is able to accommodate customers and profits. Who knows, the same with the electric 508 that comes…
