A secret prototype for a soft-top 208 Cabriolet was recently revealed at the Peugeot museum in France. Unlike its hardtop predecessors, the 208 Cabriolet aimed to bring back the classic canvas roof configuration for better proportions, rear passenger space, and potentially lower costs. Development started in 2007 but the project was scrapped due to high development costs compared to the similar DS3 Cabrio with a smaller folding roof.

The Ford Mustang turns 60 next week. It’s outlived every one of the imitators it inspired, and though the original pony car now sells around one 12th as many units as it did during its 1960s peak, it remains a cultural icon and is one of the few new cars still available with a V8 and a manual ‘box. To last that long, the Mustang has had to adapt to changes in technology, consumer demand and government regulations along the way.
