Peugeot 308 R Concept French Golf R Hunter
Besides the new Golf R will be at the IAA, the world premiere of a French competitor, which is for the time being, however, occur as a study. The 270 bhp Peugeot 308 R could, however, already attach in the near future in the wind shadow of the wolf Burgers. The concept car gets a striking painting in red and blue textured black, well the sporty add-on parts come into play.
For a long time car enthusiast want to combine sportiness with red paint. Peugeot took this as an opportunity to the 308 R Concept, which will celebrate at the IAA in Frankfurt in two weeks its world premiere, to be painted in precisely this color. However, the red color on the rear of the vehicle is combined with matte, textured blue-black, which is reminiscent of the Onyx Concept. Small details have been at the tail with red accents, such as the underside of the roof spoiler, the background of the name plate and the inside of the exhaust pipes.
As a basis, the 308 R Concept uses the five-door bodyshell of the new Peugeot 308, which will also be presented at the IAA. In contrast to the much tamer series brothers wild crafted aprons are fitted front and rear here, however. Front provide three large air intakes for the fresh air supply from the engine and brakes. From the side, the flared wheel arches, creating the space for a 30-millimeter wider track and 19-inch wheels with tires 235/35er. For a close-appearance as the fact that all the parts that differ from the normal R 308, not later screwed, but were integrated into the existing design provides. Doors, front fenders, the body-sides, hood, aprons and skirts are made of carbon fiber and thus reduce the overall weight significantly.
Under the hood, the 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine may let off steam, which also comes in the new Peugeot RCZ R to use. He does here unchanged 330 Nm of torque, as well as 199 kW/270 hp and thus brings it to a specific power output of 170 hp per liter of displacement. Same time, the average fuel consumption according to the manufacturer at just 6.3 liters per 100 kilometers. Power transmission to the front wheels take a manual six-speed gearbox and a Torsen differential. For the delay in a brake system with 380 mm discs at the front and 330 mm rear discs is responsible.
If and when the Peugeot 308 R to go into production, yet to be confirmed officially. A good indicator should be the audience reaction at the IAA. If you are the 308 R and want to find good, you go to Frankfurt and give your opinion in the state personnel from Peugeot.
