Peugeot is working on a “hot” version of its new Supermini 208. We were able to catch a test mule that passed road tests in winter conditions.
Now we will explain why we decided that in front of us is “charged” 208. Take a look at the back of the car, and you will immediately see the double nozzles of the exhaust system.
Now the prototype is “dressed” in the body from the usual Peugeot 208. We expect to see a more aggressive appearance with large air intakes in the front.
The car will be equipped with a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine with a capacity of 154 horsepower, which is used in the PEUGEOT RCZ compartment. This will allow the “baby” to accelerate to 100 km/h in less than 7 seconds and have a maximum speed of 225 km/h. There are also rumors that the French automaker is working on a version of 200 liters.With.
The new 208 GTI, in fact, will become the spiritual heir of 205 GTI, which was removed from production in 1993. But, despite this, this car received the status of a cult in certain circles. Therefore, 208 GTI has every chance of success.
The new Peugeot will become a competitor to Citroen DS3, Volkswagen Polo GTI and Ford Fiesta st.
