In the year when the Marque celebrates its 200th anniversary, the 100% electric Peugeot EX1 concept car breaks 3 world acceleration records and achieves another 3 on the mythical Montlhéry circuit, where the 404 Diesel demolished several endurance records in 1965. For this performance, the concept car was driven by the French adventurer and explorer Nicolas Vanier.
