Peugeot 309 Gti early 1990's

A bit of an oldie today with this Peugeot 309 Gti spotted in France a few weeks ago. The 309 has a 1.9 4-cylinder engine which produces 130bhp. 0-62mph takes 8.0 seconds to a top speed of 128mph or  206km/h.

An ageing hot-hatch today with this Peugeot 206 RC (Gti in the UK) spotted in Jarnac in France a few months ago. The 206 has a naturally aspirated 2.0 straight 4 with 175bhp. The 0-62 takes 7.4 seconds and the top speed is 137mph or 220km/h. Nothing crazy but I still find this car pretty cool!

Insider 18 - Peugeot RCZ-R 2014

Today, we are inside the R-version of the Peugeot RCZ. The pictures were taken at the Sale dealership where I must say, staff were very helpful. The RCZ-R is powered by an impressive 270bhp 1.6 turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. It gives the little French coupe astonishing performances: 0-62 in only 5.9 seconds and a top speed electronically limited to 155mph or 250km/h. There are also a few changes to the standard versions such as a fixed rear spoiler, specific alloys, dual exhaust and specific R interior with these beautiful sport seats.

Peugeot RCZ

 

Up King Street in Manchester, third French car of the blog, the little 2-seater sport coupe, the Peugeot RCZ. The RCZ is what I had been waiting for, always wondering why more affordable makes couldn't produce nice and affordable, sporty looking, everyday cars. Well in my opinion, Peugeot did just that. This particular model has the 2.0 HDi 4-cylinder engine which produces 163bhp: 0-62 is covered in 8.7 seconds and the top speed is 137mph (220km/h). But the main attraction with this RCZ -apart from its look- is the fact that it is economical. You can probably achieve about 45mpg on combined cycles, road tax is around £120 a year and the car itself costs from around £23,500 new.

I know, it still is a Peugeot, but for the price, I do think it is worth it!
