Peugeot Fractal Electric-Car Concept: 3D Printing, Audio Tech Of Future

Concept cars can run the gamut from the spectacular to the mundane.

Some are spectacularly unrealistic fantasies, while others are barely-disguised production models.

Peugeot's concept for the upcoming 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show doesn't quite fit into either category, though.

It doesn't foreshadow an upcoming production model, but it's not entirely irrelevant to future production cars, either.

The Peugeot Fractal electric-car concept isn't intended to preview a new entry in the model lineup, but rather technologies that could eventually be used in production cars.

Those technologies include 3D-printed construction, and new sound-system hardware.

The French concept features a two-door body with a removable roof, and an all-electric powertrain.

That powertrain consists of two 102-horsepower electric motors--one for each axle.

The motors are actually geared differently to account for weight transfer during acceleration. The rear motor moves the Fractal off the line, while the front motor kicks in at higher speeds.

Peugeot claims a 0 to 62 mph time of 6.8 seconds for the 2,200-pound Fractal.
