First look:  THE French are used to the Germans getting attention for automotive engineering, but when Mercedes-Benz, with the flowing lines of its CLS, and BMW, with its controversial Chris Bangle designs, steal the limelight in style, something must be done.

The Peugeot 908 RC design study.

For Peugeot, that something is the 908 RC, a design study to be displayed at the Paris auto show this month. The sleek black 908 RC is an answer to the S-Class or 7 Series, a lux limo powered by a 700-horsepower V-12 diesel designed for endurance racing.
