Peugeot 308 R Concept – Features
The model comes complete with a dropped suspension, beefed-up aero kit with larger bumpers, side skits, lowered ride height with huge 19-inch double-spoke alloy wheels, upgraded brakes and a two-tone gloss red and matte black paint job.
Peugeot say the pure and sleek style 308 R Concept is a hatchback which carries the Marques upmarket ambitions, and radicalises this boldness and enriches the expertise of Peugeot Sport to obtain extreme sensations.
Power comes from the same 1.6-litre turbo four-cylinder engine as in the RCZ R , delivering 201kW of power at 6000 rpm and 330Nm of torque at 1900 rpm. Fuel consumption is rated to be at 6.3-litres/100km with CO2 emissions of 145 g/km.
Power is deployed to the front wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox and harnessed to fully exploit its potential through the front axle via a Torsen differential. Stopping power is provided by Alcon discs measuring 380mm up front and 330mm at the back with four-piston callipers.
