2000 Peugeot Kart Up Concept

The 2000 Peugeot Kart Up Concept, unveiled at the Paris Motor Show as part of the Peugeot City Toyz series, adds a touch of nostalgia and whimsy to the automotive scene. Alongside other playful concepts like the Peugeot Vroomster, Peugeot Bobslid, and Peugeot e-Doll, the Kart Up is a convertible that captures attention with its distinctive design.

Under the hood, the Kart Up boasts a robust 2.9L V6 engine, equipped with 24 valves and delivering a powerful 210 horsepower. The body of the car is crafted from lightweight carbon, enhancing its performance and agility.

Designed with a nod to nostalgia in the Pininfarina style, the Kart Up concept is a small yet spirited vehicle that aligns with the overall theme of the City Toyz series. The concept cars in this series, including the Kart Up, embody a sense of playfulness and creativity, reminiscent of humorous scenes from the past. Notably, Pierre Richard, a visitor to the salon, may have recalled his role as the reporter Peren, particularly in scenes involving amusing vehicles at the Peugeot stand.

The Kart Up Concept showcases Peugeot's willingness to explore unconventional and entertaining automotive designs, making a statement at the intersection of performance and nostalgia.
