Rumours are already circulating in the French motoring press that Peugeot is readying a higher-output limited edition model of its 208 GTi hot hatch.
According to Auto-Journal, the 208 GTi could get a halo model with 22kW more power, bringing the total from the GTi's 1.6 litre turbo engine to just under 170kW.
Handling and suspension revisions will help it handle this extra grunt., however there's few other details.
With rival Renault expected to roll out a Gordini-badged special edition of the Clio RS, rumours that Peugeot is considering tweaking its own subcompact hot hatch aren't all that surprising.
However, with the rumours still being quite light on detail and with Peugeot currently strapped for cash, we'll believe this one when we see it.
