Peugeot 208 Gti previews

 

The new peugeot 208 Gti powered by a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that makes 200 horsepower and 202 lb-ft. of torque. The engine was co-developed with BMW and is also found under the hood of the MINI Cooper S, the Peugeot RCZ and the Citroën DS3 hatchback, among others.


Linked to a six-speed manual transmission that sends power to the front wheels, the four-banger propels the 208 GTi from zero to 60 mph in less than seven seconds. Inside there is a flat-bottomed steering wheel, sports seats, drilled aluminium pedals and an aluminium gear knob. Essentially the car doesn’t differ much from the 208 GTi Concept that was shown in Geneva.

The Peugeot 208 GTi's MacPherson strut front and torsion beam rear suspensions have been reworked with sports springs, recalibrated dampers, uprated anti-roll bars and increased front subframe and rear cross-member rigidity. The steering has been tuned for a heavier weighting, while wider tracks, increased by 10mm at the front and 20mm at the rear, complete the chassis changes. And let's not forget those large 302mm ventilated disc brakes in front and 249mm discs behind.

Proton Inspira 2.0 Executive

Proton has introduced an Executive version of its 2.0 litre CVT Inspira – the variant replaces the 1.8 CVT Executive in the model lineup, slotting in between the 2.0 CVT Premium and 1.8 MT Executive. Most of the kit found on the 2.0 Premium is on the 2.0 Executive – from the steering wheel audio switches and paddle shifters to the auto light and rain sensors, it’s all here. What’s different, based on the feature specifications list, is that the Executive’s seats and door trim finishing is in fabric (as opposed to the Premium’s leather fitment), the wipers don’t feature automatic speed adjustment and the bodykit has been omitted. Fresh to the car is a new 16-inch wheel design. As for exterior colours, there’s no Plum Red for this one, with the Premium’s shade being replaced by Elegant Brown; otherwise, Tranquility Black, Genetic Silver and Solid White are shared by both variants. The revisions make for a significant drop in the asking price over the Premium variant though – the 2....
