About the Peugeot Onyx Concept Paris Motor Show 2012 Norev 1:18
TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 diecast Peugeot Onyx reproduces the copper-and-carbon hybrid concept Peugeot unveiled at the 2012 Paris Motor Show. Diecast construction captures its exposed panels with typical opening features. A standout piece for a concept-car display.
Concept cars exist to make an argument about the future, and few recent Peugeots have argued more forcefully than the Onyx, all bare copper and exposed carbon weave.
Diecast Reproducing an Unconventional Concept Finish
The Onyx's real draw was its unpainted, hand-formed copper body panels set against raw carbon fiber elsewhere, a finish combination almost no production car attempts. Diecast construction lets Norev reproduce that contrast with distinct material-look surfaces across the body, along with opening features typical of 1:18 diecast that give access to the concept's dramatically simplified cabin. The proportions, low and wide with an aggressive rear diffuser, translate well into diecast's added heft, giving the model genuine presence rather than the lightness a resin body might convey for a car whose whole point was mass and menace.
A Hybrid Statement at the Paris Motor Show
Peugeot revealed the Onyx at the 2012 Paris Motor Show as a hybrid supercar concept, pairing a V8 with an electric motor system and a deliberately raw, unfinished-looking construction meant to emphasize lightweight engineering over polish. It drew significant attention on the show circuit specifically for that material honesty, at a time when most concept cars leaned toward heavily lacquered showroom finishes rather than exposed structure. It remains one of the more talked-about Peugeot concepts of the last fifteen years.
A Design Statement Worth a Dedicated Spot
This model rewards display on its own, ideally under direct light that shows off the copper-and-carbon contrast the real car was built to showcase.
