General Director of Peugeot Maxime Picat told Automotive News that the 208 R will go into mass production. He did not say when the car will be introduced, but most likely we will not see him until the year 2015.
Peugeot 208 R will likely have more power and lighter body. 208 GTi has the same 1.6-liter, 4-cylinder engine as the RCZ THP, 308 208 R R, but will likely be more powerful because it is much easier. While Citroën will expand its line of DS, Peugeot will offer high-quality premium versions of each model.
