2013 Peugeot 208 GTi - turbocharged 1.6-litre THP with 200bhp







2013 Peugeot 208 GTi powered by the turbocharged 1.6-litre THP with 200bhp, an engine that's already fitted in the impressive RCZ. This gives the little 208 a 0-62mph time of less than 7.0 seconds and Peugeot is promising strong in-gear performance helped by a kerbweight of just 1160kg and torque of 275Nm. 




2013 Peugeot 208 GTi also gets a reworked exhaust and close-ratio six-speed manual gearbox. There's no word on official economy but CO2 is 145g/km.
 

The standard 208 has had a mixed response since its launch earlier this year with criticism of the steering and handling. Whether the GTi version will be any different remains to be seen, but it does come with revised suspension, shock absorbers and anti-roll bars while there's an enhanced front subframe and a more rigid rear crossmember.

 

The steering has been made firmer plus there are 17-inch alloy wheels with 205/45 tyres. There's also a 10mm wider track at the front and 20mm wider at the back.
