Peugeot 308 Sedan GTi
A new rendering shows what
to expect if Peugeot would decide to apply the GTi treatment to the recently
unveiled 308 Sedan.
Envisioned by X-Tomi, it
carries the signature dual-tone red and black treatment as its production
hatchback along with a similar body kit and rims. If this were the real deal,
then we should expect it to be using a 1.6-liter THP turbocharged petrol four
in two outputs: 250 PS and 270 PS.
The 308 GTi hatch needs 6.0
seconds to sprint from naught to 100 km/h in the range-topper model,
capped out at 250 km/h. Some serious punch, this, that can challenge
much more expensive sports cars from the not-so-distant past.
Peugeot's 308 Sedan is aimed
exclusively at the Chinese market. No details have been made public, but local
reports suggest that it will eventually be offered with two petrol turbocharged
units, borrowed from the 308 hatch. The car that broke cover almost two weeks
ago at the 2016 Beijing Auto Show rides on the EMP2 platform, the same one used
on the European version, but with a slightly longer wheelbase that translates
into superior legroom for the rear passengers, a "must" for all successful
cars on sale in the People's Republic.
