According to the industry it seems that the time is right to release a supercar, but Peugeot is unlikely to put the 907

into production. At this time, nearly a decade and a half ago, manufacturers from around the world were leaping to get into the supercar game, accepting deposits and creating order cues long before vehicles were even available for sale. Then the economy faltered, and it's taken the time in between to build up the momentum again. But it hasn't reached the stratospheric levels of the late '80s yet.

That's why, however beautiful, graceful, powerful and technically advanced the 907 may appear on its turntable stand at Paris, we won't be seeing it on European roads any time soon because of the financial risk involved. It's a bit of a shame too. If Peugeot were to build it, the 907 would be the only French supercar built by a volume producer in modern times to run against Germany and Italy's giants, factoring in that if the Bugatti Veyron ever gets built it will be German, and forgetting that Venturi also builds sports cars but the Fétish is hardly a supercar and the boutique carmaker it's hardly a volume producer. Well, a person can dream can't he?
