Peugeot's new coupé cabriolet, the 308 CC, has a hot new feature.

The deeply sculpted front seats, with their integral head restraints, have an inbuilt air vent, which diffuses warm air around the occupants' neck and shoulders.

Peugeot says the "Airwave" system acts like a scarf by diffusing air adjustable for temperature, flow and direction.

Other new features will also be introduced, including automatic remote-control locking of interior storage compartments (glovebox and storage under the central armrest; a special "rear seat access" function which electrically slides the front seats forwards; deadlocking of doors and selective unlocking and LED courtesy lighting in the door mirrors.

The 308 CC, with its four full-size seats, has a low sporty profile and uses spectacular LED rear lights.

The 308 CC will be available with both simple and an "integral leather" interior trim. The entire passenger compartment is also trimmed in leather.

For music aficionados, a JBL Hi-fi option will also be available with ten speakers offering a made-to-measure sound experience.

The new Peugeot 308 CC will make its debut at this year's Paris Motor Show in September.

It is now more than seven years since Peugeot introduced its best-known coupé cabriolet, the 206 CC, which then evolved in 2003 into the 307 CC and then, in 2007, into the UK's current best-selling open top car, the 207 CC.
