Peugeot returns to the world of the GTi with the European
launch of the 308 GTi, a sporty hatchback for a new era: enjoyable for day to day driving and
environmentally-friendly. Available as a 5 door model only, it combines a modern synthesis of versatility
and driveability.
Sporty driving in step with the times
The Peugeot 308 GTi has a sporty manner that is in tune with the current times:
- well-heeled athleticism for day-to-day driving enjoyment and a high level of onboard comfort at all
engine speeds but, stopping short of being a specialist vehicle, yet still able to offer real excitement
when its “driver” asks more of it.
- environmentally-friendly, combining good levels of performance with fuel consumption of only 6.9
litres/100 km for 159 g/km of CO2.
The 1.6 litre THP 147 kW (200 bhp) engine - Maximising efficiency
At the 'heart' of its sporty 'nature' is the all new 1.6 litre THP 147 kW engine, a key factor in the
overall efficiency of the Peugeot 308 GTi. Combining a number of innovative technologies – THP (Twin-Scroll
turbocharger and direct petrol injection), and VTi (variable valve lift and valve timing) – this engine,
matched to a 6-speed manual gearbox, offers high levels of driveability.
Its maximum power of 147 kW is available from 5,500 to 6,800 rpm, combined with a constant maximum
torque of 275 Nm between 1,700 and 4,500 rpm, the 308 GTi also offers particularly low fuel consumption
and CO2 emissions.
The sound of the engine is distinctive during acceleration thanks to the adoption of Sound System
technology.
