2011 Peugeot 308 GTi Overview

2011 Peugeot 308 GTi

Peugeot released a new model known as 2011 Peugeot 308 GTi. is available as 5-door models only.

2011 Peugeot 308 GTi using injection machine 1.6-liter THP twin turbo and equipped with high pressure direct injection system.

2011 Peugeot 308 GTi have maximum power rpm 147kw/5000-6800 and peak torque 275Nm/1700-4500 rpm.

The new 308 GTi is powered by the same engine as the RCZ Coupe: an all new 1.6 liter THP 200 bhp engine mated to 6-speed manual gearbox. The car’s exterior is distinguished by: a bright black carbon-style insert under the front bumper lower skirt (specificity France), "Sport" lower front panel derived from the 308 CC, lower rear bumper panel with Perla Nera black diffuser, rear spoiler, offering additional efficiency at high speeds, a twin chrome exhaust pipes, GTi badges on the side and rear of the body.

Combining a number of innovative technologies – THP (Twin-Scroll turbocharger and direct petrol injection), and VTi (variable valve lift and valve timing) – this engine, mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox, offers high levels of drive ability.

Its maximum power of 147 kW is available from 5500 to 6800 rpm, combined with a constant maximum torque of 275 Nm between 1700 and 4500 rpm, the 308 GTi also offers particularly low fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The car’s chassis has also been adapted to match the characteristics of the engine: fitted with 225/40 R18 tires, it combines excellent stability at high speed with guaranteed comfort at low speed. 340 mm diameter brake discs at the front and 290 mm at the rear ensure high levels of braking performance.

Distinctive interior features, aluminium foot rest and gear knob, leather sport steering wheel with aluminium flattened lower edge and thumb rests, piano black fascia ...)

THP (Turbo-charged High-Pressure) with a Twin-Scroll turbocharger for performance and instantaneous response at very low engine speeds; direct petrol injection ensuring optimal fuel consumption;

VTi (Variable valve and Timing injection) with variable lift of the intake valves coupled with variable timing of the intake and exhaust camshafts, for reduced fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

This system ensures remarkable engine responsiveness, since the turbo boost begins at 1000 rpm, enabling the engine to produce its maximum torque from just 1700 rpm. High-pressure direct injection, for optimal overall efficiency direct petrol injection makes it possible to combine a high engine output with low fuel consumption. The high-pressure injectors spray fuel directly and laterally into the combustion chamber at a maximum pressure of 120 bars.

This technology combines a variable timing system on the intake and exhaust camshafts with a variable lift system on the intake valves.

Sound System technology delivers different harmonics according to vehicle acceleration. The 308 GTi benefits from an already efficient suspension setup derived from platform 2: a McPherson type front suspension and a rear suspension consisting of a rear torsion beam

The end result is a well balanced front wheel drive set-up ensuring optimal accuracy and efficiency and maximum driving enjoyment and safety at all times.

To ensure maximum braking efficiency, both in terms of power and endurance, the car are equipped with generously dimensioned ventilated front brake discs: 340x30 mm.

Peugeot 308 GTi modern, dynamic and sporty is the appropriate word to describe about this car, other than that this car is also stable at high speeds and are equipped with safety facilities are complete enough so comfortable for long trips.
