2013 Peugeot 208 GTi Limited Edition

Peugeot are producing a limited run of 29 special 208 GTi models to kick off sales of the new GTi – price £20,495. It’s hard to believe, but this week’s Paris Motor Show is actually the public debut of the production version of the new Peugeot 208GTi, following the actual 208 GTi reveal earlier this month Based on the 208 GTi Concept we saw at Geneva in the spring, the 2013 GTi is a car Peugeot hopes will cast a performance glow across the rest of the 208 range, just as the 205 GTi did in years gone by. To kick off sales of the new 208 GTi, Peugeot has revealed a Limited Edition version – catchily branded the 208 GTi Limited Edition – which will be available to buyers ahead of the first regular GTis.

But no spectacle was more thrilling that the run by Sebastian Loeb in the Peugeot 208 T16. The Peugeot 208 T16 (which bears about as much resemblance to your 208 as Loeb’s driving does to your Granny’s) gets a 3.2 litre twin turbo V6 with 875bhp, enough to hit 62mph in a scant 1.8 seconds and on to 150mph.
