About the test:
As if the standard Peugeot 208 GTi wasn't exciting enough with its 1.6 litre engine that produces 208 hp and 300 Nm, the engineers at the Peugeot Sport department were let loose to create an even more extreme version of the quick hatchback. And with a long history in motorsports they have all the know-how to make that car even more interesting for trackday enthusiasts and those who want even more sharpness on their favorite backroads. The car gets extensive upgrades to its suspension such as a larger track width, bigger 18-inch wheels with larger Brembo brakes at the front, a stiffer setting for both springs and dampers and the car now sits 10 millimeters lower. But what is probably more important is the addition of a Torsen limited-slip differential which makes the car steer and drive with much more sharpness and makes it better suited for driving on a track. Inside the car gets very nice bucket-like seats that have the inscription 'Peugeot Sport' on the backrests. The small steering wheel now has an even sharper response thanks to a different setting for the power-assistance. All in all the car has everything it needs to be as sharp on a track day but be comfortable enough to drive it to it and back as well. Watch the video to see the all-black hot hatch in action!
