The Ultimate Hot Hatch: The Model 308 Peugeot GTi
This more athletic version of the Peugeot 308 model has been eagerly awaited, following the success of previous Peugeot GTi models.
And it certainly doesn’t disappoint – the Peugeot 308 GTi sets a new record for power-to-weight ratio in its segment!
The 308 GTi is capable of going from 0-100 km/h in a mere 6.0 seconds, covering 1 000 metres from a standing start in 25.3 seconds!
The Coupe Franche separation-line design exclusive to the 308 GTi contrasts the new and explosive “Ultimate Red” with “Perla Nera Black”.
The 308 GTi is available in the following six colour schemes:
- Ultimate Red,
- Magnetic Blue,
- Perla Nera Black,
- Artense Grey,
- Pearlescent White and
- Hurricane Grey.”
Peugeot’s goal when they developed the new 308 GTi was to create a compact, safe and incisive car with sporty allure – for the ultimate in driving pleasure.
“The Peugeot 308 provided an excellent base from which to develop a hot hatch and our work mainly lay in optimising the original design to achieve flawless performance. But you have to get the 308 Gti on the road or circuit to really taste its true potential,” stated Pierre Budar, project manager of Peugeot Sport.
New 201 kW Euro 6 Engine:
To fully tap the potential of the chassis, this Peugeot GTi model houses a 1.6l, 201 kW engine under the bonnet. Yet with its “Stop&Start” technology and array of engineering expertise, it caps CO2 at just 139 g/km, or 6.0 L/100km, a record for the category.
The interior styling keeps perfectly in line with the exterior and is unabashedly sporty! Featuring an anthracite-style feel from top to bottom – with the pedals, foot rest and gear knob all in aluminium! Red stitching is featured on the dashboard, upholstery, door panels, high-end floor mats and gear lever.
