The Peugeot Design Contest recently wrapped up and the judges selected that beauty above for inclusion in Project Gotham Racing 4.
Here's a word from the designer of the Flux:
The name Flux was inspired by the continuous change and flow of our daily lives during work and play. The shape also represents this flow with transitions through hard and smooth lines, between straight and curved all of which are characteristics of Peugeot. A relatively small car (3500cm long by 1650cm wide), it runs on a slim hydrogen power plant hidden in the back along with the tank mounted under the front bonnet. The hood and side body panels are made from plastic, polyurethane for the seats and aluminium for the mechanical parts. The main components such as the chassis and head protection are metal.Made up of simple body work (basic intersected volumes) the car is easily produced and accessible to everyone but most of all, it's fun to drive.
Digital Displacement points out that it probably didn't hurt that the concept car comes with an Xbox 360 built into the dash.

Is the 360 in the dash for heating on those long winter drives?
Yeah, it had a 360 in it, now lets see the one with the clear body i'd actually fork over money for.
I do not even remember that car on the list of cars to vote for...
I think thats a gorgeus car, reminds me of the likes of the Ferrari 250 GTO and classic race cars of the 50s.
A real classic design!
That car looks very cool. I can't wait to see it to try it out! (in PGR4 of course).
