It’s possible. I don’t know if the car was made before or After the RCZ, so there could be.

It looks as though this was an entry for the biennial Peugeot Concours Design (2001-07).

Its a strong possibility, this car is so obscure and doesnt have any info at all but a lot of clues lead up to it.

Lucas Bignon of Luka Design

Thats it! The Point goes to you! This Concept was done as a project by Luka Design and was forgotten about. Good work on finding this gem!
-
Do you have other images?
-
Is/was the design firm located in Paris?
The 'nope' answer to this question was rather misleading as Luka Design did indeed once have a studio in Paris. I know this, as I visited it some years ago to go and see Lucas Bignon about potentially offering his Smart-based Turtle as a kit car, which he had previously exhibited at a UK kit car show.

My mistake on that bit! The original “nope” was directed torwards oko’s comment on wether it was from Sacha Lakic, I didn’t notice gte’s comment since Ogguerob had already solved it, and i just responded straight for that one. I’m pretty sure it says on his website that he was located in Paris at one point or another. My apologies!
