Peugeot 308 R - Go-ahead to produce Peugeot 308 R

We have good news for that already at the very dream was described yesterday by the Peugeot 308 GTi. The even hotter 308 R, which the French unveiled at the IAA, has also been given the green light for series production. It has a top executive at the company told Top Gear.

At time of writing steals Peugeot at the IAA 2013 - which will last until September 22 - still the show with the 308 R Concept. A RCZ R in a more practical case, but one no less fierce snorts and hisses than fast, fun coupe. The RCZ R is for the next turn of the year to ride and a good year later, the Peugeot 308 R, under the hood with the same 1.6 THP turbo four-cylinder.

Its ability does not change and that means that the front wheels receive a portion of 270 hp and 330 Nm of their choosing. That's a lot, and to avoid unnecessary wear on the tires Peugeot therefore fitting a Torsion differential on the front axle. The Peugeot 308 R will therefore efficient, but above all the harder to corner. Also a manual we will look back and there will undoubtedly be purists content me. But whether the production model is also hung with many carbon fibers and if he is similarly broad-shouldered, we take seriously in doubt. It would be very expensive car and thus uninteresting. It is after all Peugeot certainly not noticed that lately a lot of automotive hotheads are added.

Chances are that a home party with the Peugeot 308 R celebrates by him to reveal. During the Paris Motor Show in September 2014
