The Peugeot Flux was a concept car from Peugeot that won the 2007 Peugeot International Design Competition after being unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show that year. [2] [3]

The car was designed by a 20-year-old Romanian, Mihai Panaitescu. [1] It was intended to be a sports car, but was flexible enough to be used for light off-roading. [4]
