First , Peugeot aired the first information about its return to the start of the famous Pikes Peak race , followed by the first photos of the new weapon it will ride with. This week, the brand probably couldn't take it anymore and released the complete technical data of the model .
And they take your breath away. Under the hood is a twin-turbocharged 3.2-liter six-cylinder with an output of 875 horsepower, which works with all-wheel drive and a six-speed sequential transmission with paddle shifters under the steering wheel. With a weight of 875 kg , this 208 accelerates to 100 km/h in 1.8 seconds , to 200 km/h in 4.8 seconds and to a maximum of 240 km/h in 7 seconds! Respectable values.
The basis of the car is a tubular steel frame with a carbon body and front/rear anti-roll bars. Stopping is handled by hydraulic twin-disc brakes with lightweight calipers and vented carbon discs measuring 380 mm in diameter at the front and 355 mm at the rear. The racing special also rides on special Michelin 31/71×18 tires , has hydraulic power steering or pressure shock absorbers.
It has 208 4500 mm in length, 2000 mm in width and 1300 mm in height. The wheelbase is 2695 mm long. On June 30, Sébastien Loeb will be the envy of many a car enthusiast…
