The Peugeot Quasar was the first concept car made by Peugeot in-house. It was assembled in 1984 at the Peugeot plant in La Garenne, and first displayed at the 67th Paris Motor Show in the same year. Named after the astronomical phenomenon, it shared many of its internal components with the 205 Turbo 16, Peugeot's rally variant of the 205. Currently, it is part of an installation at the Peugeot Adventure Museum in Sochaux.
