With the world launch of The Peugeot
308 at the Frankfurt Motor Show another 308 concept will also be
showcased – The Peugeot 308 RC Z Concept Car.
The 308 RC Z Concept Car is a 2+2 Coupé
with true versatility and at the same time a style that is modern,
original and well-balanced. A lot of attention has been paid to the
design to ensure it is as light as possible with the use of aluminium
and carbon fibre for many of the components.
With a length of 4.276 m (the same as
the hatchback), a width of 1.840 m (25 mm more than the hatchback) and a
height of only 1.320 m, the streamlined design ensures both improved
performance and reduced fuel consumption, helping further to protect the
environment thanks to reduced CO2 emissions.
The engine
The 308 RC Z is powered by a 1.6 litre THP turbo-charged petrol engine
developed from the EP6DTS engine normally found under the bonnet of the
207 GTi, but now with a maximum power output of 218 bhp.
It is characterised by incredible
responsiveness, thanks to the maximum torque output of 280 Nm produced
from very low engine speeds. This can also temporarily be increased to
300 Nm due to the over boost function.
0 to 62mph is achieved in 7 seconds
thanks to a curb weight of only 1200kg. The 308 RC Z Concept has a
combined drive cycle of 42.2mpg and emits 160g/km of CO2.
