Traditionally, to build a supercar, you start out with an aluminum or carbon fiber body, dress it up in lightweight panels and fill the cabin with leather. Peugeot showed there’s another way to do this as it showed its Onyx supercar concept in Paris.
We got our own up-close and personal photos but for the video walkaround we go to a Shmee150’s Paris coverage. As you can see, this elemental supercar will simply blow you away from the first second you see it. At first, it seems like the lines are simple and sharp, but there are tiny curves in every panel, and that’s because they were hand-sculpted from brass sheets.
The whole car only weighs about a ton and is powered by a hybrid turbodiesel 600 hp motor at the back.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
