For the last 10 years Peugeot only focused on delivering nice looking cars that will do well for your daily commuting. Well folks it looks like they’re getting back to it, as we’re just hearing that the French manufacturer just took the wraps off of the new Peugeot 308 GTi. The new model runs on the same engine as the RCZ Coupe, the 1.6 liter THP (turbocharged direct-injection) mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox. Which helps the new Peugeot 308 GTi sprints from 0 to 100km/h in 7.7 seconds.
On the outside there aren’t many changes, at least not ones that we could find easily. There are 18-inch wheels, a rear spoiler, a lowered rear bumper with a stylishdiffuser, dual chrome exhaust pipes and a carbon-style insert beneath the front bumper.
Like it? The 2010 Peugeot 308 GTi should launch on June 10 in France with a base price of €26,900. [via DeviceMAG]
