A secret prototype for a soft-top 208 Cabriolet was recently revealed at the Peugeot museum in France.<\/li>\n
Unlike its hardtop predecessors, the 208 Cabriolet aimed to bring back the classic canvas roof configuration for better proportions, rear passenger space, and potentially lower costs.<\/li>\n
Development started in 2007 but the project was scrapped due to high development costs compared to the similar DS3 Cabrio with a smaller folding roof.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Cancelled automotive projects<\/a> hold a certain charm, particularly when they involve life-sized prototypes that remained hidden behind closed doors for years. Such is the case with the Peugeot 208 Cabriolet you see pictured here and which was recently exhibited in France. It offers a glimpse of what could have been, had the company’s executives given it the green light for production.<\/p>\n
