Peugeot BB1

Peugeot has unveiiled that strangest-shaped car at the show! Dubbed the BB1 concept, the pure electric city car uses a clever-seating configuration to cram four passenger into its tiny footprint - smaller even than the Toyota IQ.

Twin electrc motors mounted inside the rear wheels give a combined output of around 20bhp, plenty of power for something weighing in at only 600kg.

And it wasn't the only electric car on Peugeot's patch in Frankfurt. The iOn is essentially a rebadged Mitsubishi MiEV, but that's no bad thing. It's lithium-ion batteries can deliver a 130km range, a top speed of 80mph and can be fully recharged in just six hours. Sales will start at the end of next year.
