Peugeot RCZ: Double-Bubble Sports Coupe

The RCZ was a stylish 2+2 sports coupe with a distinctive double-bubble roof, built on the 308 platform.

Produced from 2010 to 2015, the Peugeot RCZ stood out with a roofline featuring twin domed bubbles over each seat, a design flourish that made it instantly recognizable next to more conventional coupes.

Underneath the striking bodywork, the RCZ shared its platform with the 308, giving it a familiar and manageable driving character rather than the razor edge of a dedicated sports car, aimed more at style-conscious buyers than track-day enthusiasts.

A hotter RCZ R version arrived later in the car's life with more power and sharper dynamics, giving the range a genuine performance flagship before production ended.
