Peugeot premieres new models at Dubai motor show
PARIS, November 11, 2015
Peugeot presented as a regional premiere its new Peugeot 308 GTi By Peugeot Sport, the new 208 and 308, 508 and the crossovers 2008 and 3008 at the ongoing Dubai International Motor Show, as part of its continuous development on the Middle East markets.
The new '308 GTi by Peugeot Sport' carries the name of the team responsible for its development, said a statement.
It packs a 1.6L THP S&S engine that comes with 200 kW (270 hp). The Euro6 Stop&Start power plant caps CO2 emissions at just 139 g per km, it said.
The 308 GTi 270 has set a new record for power-to-weight ratio in its segment, at just 4.46 kg per unit of horsepower, and does 0-100 kph in a mere 6.0 seconds, covering 1,000 metres from a standing start in 25.3 seconds.
The Peugeot 308 is inherently sleek and clean, the PEUGEOT 308 GTi asserts a style imbued with simplicity but which is impressively effective.
The Ultimate Red and Perla Nera Black pairing seem to have been split by a surgeon's scalpel, such is the contrast between the two.
Dubbed the Coupe Franche, the combination of ultimate red and perla nera black colours ably captures the nature of the new 308 GTi by Peugeot Sport: in a word, sharp.
The interior styling is perfectly in keeping with the outside and is unabashedly sporty, namely with the Peugeot Sport bucket seats upholstered in leather and alcantara.
Meanwhile, the compact steering wheel (351 x 329 mm) provides natural grip and flawless precision.
Catering to the demand for sporty looks in the region, the new GT Line versions offer exterior style, equipment and interior sportiveness.
Initiated with the new Peugeot 308 and 508, this exclusive line has been enhanced with the launch of the new Peugeot 208 GT Line.
Recently launched in Middle East, the new Peugeot 508 benefits from major changes in styling, in technological content and in new engines. As a result, this grand tourer embodies the expression of the brand’s move up-market more than ever.
The Peugeot 301, also displayed at the show, embodies the latest design standards of the brand and offers character in its design, refinement and a modern elegance which inspires emotion and robustness. - TradeArabia News Service
