The Peugeot Oxia is a prototype concept car of from Peugeot automobiles in 1988.

History 

The Peugeot Oxia takes its name from a region of the planet Mars called "OXIA PALUS", longitude 0, latitude 0, possible starting point for calculating Martian time. 

The car is a Prototype of a “Grand Touring High Performance” two-seater coupe fitted with butterfly doors, but it claims performance of that from a race car with a body made from carbon fibre and Kevlar. Equipped with a mid-mounted 6-cylinder 24-valve engine, Oxia develops a power of 680 hp at 8,200 rpm and a  0-60 mph performance in less than five seconds, operated by four-wheel drive and steering with front and rear limited-slip differentials.
