Peugeot reveals retro-looking e-Legend car at the Paris Motor Show – complete with velvet seats
The fully electric, driverless and connected car is based on the 1960s 504 Coupe
PEUGEOT has merged the worlds of old and new for its e-Legend concept car, which was revealed at its home Paris Motor Show.
The French carmaker has transformed its retro 504 Coupe into a fully electric and driverless motor riddled with new-age technology.

The driver seat is reminiscent of Captain Kirk's chair including plush wood with integrated dials and screen for basic driving controls in autonomous mode.
A voice-activated 'personal assistant' has also been created for the driverless car, and works in 17 different languages.
When driving manually, the stylish steering wheel is accompanied by a pop-up dashboard.
Legend and Boost modes are also available when in 'manual' - the former for cruising and latter for a more dynamic ride, including a 180-degree projection of the road on-screen.

Accelerating 0-62mph in under four seconds, the e-Legend has a top speed of around 137mph.
The electric motor has 100kWh batteries with 800Nm torque and 340Kw power - distributed to the four-wheel drive.
A mat also wirelessly charges the car, which is similar to that of BMW's CarPad.
Inside, the Peugeot keeps to the retro theme with velvet seats throughout and wood detailing.
