The Peugeot 208 GTi is one of the most capable you can currently get in the small hot hatch segment. The French automaker is very well aware of this fact and is preparing an even faster 208 .
The first should be the special series 208 GTi Pikes Peak , which will be produced on the occasion of Sebastien Loeb's victory in the famous mountain race. Over the base 208 GTi, which makes 200 horsepower, the Pikes Peak boosts 20-30 horsepower to a final 220-230 horsepower . Thanks to such an injection, the little hot hatch could reach 100 km/h in less than 7 seconds and reach a speed of up to 225 km/h.
If even this kind of performance is not enough, Peugeot has one more trump card up its sleeve – the 208 R model, which should have a 1.6 THP engine with a power of up to 270 hp with a maximum torque of 330 Nm. The RCZ R coupe could become the donor of important parts, including the engine.
