==Design== In the design of the Peugeot Moonster, the engine is located at wheel level. Its design is inspired by cars of 2020 and the early 1900s, as well as [[lunar rover]]s and dolphins, in which the [[rear spoiler]] is in the shape of a dolphin tail. The body of the Moonster is made from polished aluminum sheets, which were formed into curves, giving a [[chrome plating|chrome]] appearance to the car. The interior has four seats and an aircraft-like [[steering wheel]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.diseno-art.com/encyclopedia/concept_cars/peugeot_moonster.html|title=Peugeot Moonster|website=Diseno Art|accessdate=October 5, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.car-revs-daily.com/2014/06/24/2001-peugeot-moonster/|title=Concept Flashback – 2001 Peugeot Moonster Is Nuclear Fuel-Cell Lunar Lander|website=Car Revs Daily|first=Tom|last=Burkart|date=June 24, 2014|accessdate=October 5, 2021}}</ref>
