The Peugeot 308 sedan has been spied without camouflage, showing off changes to its front design. The front air intakes have been reduced to the advantage of greater elegance, losing some of that voracious look of the current model.

The headlights have also undergone some modifications, and the new design begs the question as to whether we will see this restyling on other Peugeot models. The new 308 sedan will debut next year sometime.

Peugeot is planning a spider or targa version of the RCZ coupe, which was presented at the Frankfurt motor show last month. The RCZ is based on the Peugeot 308 and has enabled the company to return to a concept car sports coupe which will compete with the Audi TT. An open top version would complete the Peugeot RCZ range, though no official confirmation has been released.

The RCZ spider would likely be an attractive alternative to the coupe, with a fabric roof, though the move would push up the price and eliminate the two rear seats. However, Peugeot has a four-seater cabriolet in the form of the 308 CC which folding metal roof, meaning there could be a place in the Peugeot line-up for a two-seater.

The Citroen C6 is set to get a makeover into a seriously environmental and economical car, with a new PSA hybrid drivetrain that will reduce CO2 emissions to 100 g/km.

The C6 would use a combination of a 163 hp turbodiesel engine to power the front wheels, and a single electric motor driving the rear wheels. The layout is set to reflect the 3008 hybrid, and a further element will be the use of a start-stop system.

The Eco C6 will become highly competitive against its German and Japanese counterparts, featuring new aerodynamics with low-resistance tyres and a flat underbody. It is set to become a concept car, but with no word on whether it will make it to production. Given the Peugeot-Citroen collaboration however, on a hybrid drivetrain, we should see eco versions of the Citroen C4 and Peugeot 308, with the C5 and 407 replacements certainly having production models.

Peugeot has announced the 308 RC Z concept car, a novel 2+2 coupè 2+2 with with sporting aspirations.

The front is strongly reminescent of the current Peugeot family feeling, with the “big mouth” of the radiator grille. The belt-line has a curious kink just before the b-pillar, while the roof line recalls the Nissan 350z. The roof has two retrò-looking humps. The rear is pretty clean, with a central double exhaust tube.

The sporting looks of the 308 RC Z are underlined by wide and muscular wheel arches that house 19″ lucid alloy rims with 245/40 tires.
