it also lets the Peugeot interior design team’s work stand proud and visible on the auto show stand. While the top is part hard panels, it is part fabric and folds behind the seats into a special hard-tonneau trunk bin. A four-seater, the Fractal’s roof design is a double benefit: - it lets the hot hatch be an open car without worrying about a softtop ruining the looks or cabin space, a la Golf Cabriolet.

The combination looks expensive and desirable - more so than even the new Audi TT. The chopped overhang up front is matched by a similarly short one out back. A very long dash-to-axle ratio makes the car feel much sportier and rear-drive than current French front-drivers. On second look, the Fractal is quite special. Then, a folding fabric element open the entire cabin to sun and windy bliss. The biggest unique element of a fairly standard three-door hot hatch layout comes in the roof, which appears to be a few a removable clear moonroof panels that can be popped off and stowed like a targa top. An ultra-wide but very low and lean design, the shape is unlike anything else on the market - and is beautifully executed to help the lion brand shed its previous melty sheetmetal aesthetic. And they show some sweet, sexy new angles for next-gen Pugs! The Fractal concept is the first near-production application of the blocky, angular and geometric new design ethos seen on the Exalt concept, 2008 DKR racer and a few other concepts recently, including the Peugeot Vision Gran Turismo hypercar.
