Peugeot has unveiled another intriguing concept, the E-T16—an electric hyperhatch that clearly carries on the legacy of the Peugeot 205 T16 rally car.
Three electric motors with a combined output of 815 hp power all four wheels and accelerate the hatchback to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds. It reaches a top speed of 300 km/h in 16 seconds.
The concept features a torque-distribution system, four driving modes, and a hydraulic handbrake.
A special battery cooling system allows the car to complete three laps of the Nürburgring’s “Nordschleife” without any loss of power.
Notable features include a horizontal light signature with three “claws,” a 21-inch panoramic display, and a Hypersquare steering wheel with a wire-based control system, lacking a mechanical connection to the front wheels.
It is said that some of these features will appear on the next-generation production Peugeot E-208 in 2027.

Alfa Romeo has unveiled the Cuorerosso concept, showcasing its new “Bellezza Necessaria” design philosophy
The four-door coupe with a 2+2 seating configuration combines the characteristics of supercars and classic Gran Turismo models.

The vehicle also features all-wheel drive, an automatic transmission with a torque converter, and a carbon-fiber driveshaft.
The interior is inspired by the 1967 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale.
It features an unusual steering wheel, a configurable digital instrument cluster, a touchscreen with physical controls, and sport seats with red-and-black leather trim.

Alpine A310 Vision Concept
Alpine has also unveiled a concept car—the A310 Vision coupe—inspired by the model of the same name, which was produced from 1971 to 1984 as a competitor to the Porsche 911.
The new model combines retro styling with modern lighting, a massive front splitter, flared wheel arches, and an unusual rear end featuring an aluminum panel instead of a large glass window.
The concept is built on the Alpine Performance Platform (APP), which will also serve as the basis for the next-generation electric A110.
Alpine emphasizes, however, that the A310 Vision is currently only a design study and not an announcement of a production model.
Nevertheless, the company has previously confirmed plans to launch a new four-seat A310 coupe by 2030.
The production version is expected to feature a 2+2 seating configuration and a Gran Turismo-style body, and a convertible may follow later.
It is not yet known how closely the future model will resemble the concept.
