After last year’s introduction of the E-3008 model, Peugeot has expanded its range of electric cars with a new electric SUV, the Peugeot E-5008. It will officially hit the market in Q3 2024.

The car is 4.79 meters long, 1.89 meters wide and 1.69 meters high, with a wheelbase of 2.9 meters. At first glance, it is identical to the smaller E-3008 model, and customers will be able to choose six body colors: Obsession Blue, Ingaro Blue, Okenite White, Pearl Black, Artense Gray and Titanium Grey.

This SUV, with three rows of seats, is extremely spacious and can accommodate up to seven passengers, and provides 259 liters of luggage space, which can be increased to 748 liters by folding the seats. It is equipped with a luxurious GT equipment kit that brings a two-tone body, LED headlights, heated electrically adjustable seats trimmed in Alcantara, an ambient lighting system and a space for wireless charging of mobile phones, while a 21-inch curved i-Cockpit panel is standard.

When it comes to the powertrain, the E-5008 is powered by a single electric motor with 214 hp (159 kW) and 254 lb-ft (345 Nm) of torque. This version is equipped with a 73 kWh battery that provides a range of 500 km. Customers can also choose a more powerful Long Range version with 231 hp (172 kW) with a larger 98 kWh battery that provides a range of 660 km. If you want more power, there is an option with two electric motors and 320 hp (239 kW), 98 kWh battery and a range of 500 km.

Peugeot also offers the E-5008 as a hybrid. Under the bonnet is a 1.2 liter petrol engine with 136 hp (101 kW) combined with a mild 48V hybrid drive. The company points out that this option reduces fuel consumption by about 15 percent, compared to the ICE version.

Rimac Nevera in the colors of the Dutch flag

The Rimac Nevera is one of the most powerful cars in the world, but also the fastest production electric car in the world with a top speed of 412 km/h (256 mph). It costs 2 million euros, and a few days ago one copy of this car was delivered to the owner in the Netherlands.

Rimac Automobili offers a wide range of body colors and the owner, Michel Perridon, decided to paint his car in a combination of Volcano Red, Polar White and Navy Blue, paying homage to the Dutch flag. The keys of the car were handed to the owner by Mate Rimac.

“I am excited to see more Nevera hitting the roads worldwide, and this particular example will surely turn heads. We’re delighted to see it in the hands of passionate enthusiasts like Michel Perridon. His ownership isn’t just about a car; it’s about being part of something groundbreaking, pushing boundaries together.”

The same color combination continues in the interior of the car. Sports seats are upholstered in a combination of Dark Blue leather and Red Alcantara with white stitching. Dark Blue leather covers the dashboard and one part of the door panel, while the steering wheel is wrapped in Red Alcantara.

Perridon was delighted with the car and the fact that the first Nevera in the Netherlands was his. “As a true Dutchman, I am immensely proud to have received the first delivery of the 2000 horsepower electric hypercar to the Netherlands. Being personally handed over this magnificent example of the Nevera by Mate Rimac himself, finished in the colors of the Dutch national flag as per my vision, is truly an honor. It’s a privilege to make history together with the Rimac team.”

Recently, Mate Rimac also received a personalized copy of his Nevera. He opted for an elegant and attractive design in burgundy color, with a black interior and red stitching. The car is decorated with several details such as the Croatian flag on the side mirrors, an embroidered silhouette of “Solinjanka” (women from the old town of Solin) in front of the driver on a dashboard covered in black Alcantara, personalized seats covered in red Alcantara with embroidered “K8” (Kate – dedicated to his wife Katarina) on the passenger and “M8” (Mait – dedicated to himself) on the driver’s seat, and a host of other emblems imported into the backrests.
