Peugeot 308 GTi Coming In Q1 2016 With 199kW Hero Model

Peugeot Australia has confirmed it will bring the 308 GTi hot hatch to our shores early next year, with two engine variants to be offered.

At the lower end of the scale will be the 308 GTi 250, which produces 184kW of power and 330Nm of torque from its 1.6 litre turbocharged inline four.

The 308 GTi 270 steps things up to a red-blooded 199kW, with peak torque remaining at 330Nm. Do those numbers sound familiar? They should - the GTi 270 uses the same 1.6 litre motor as the Peugeot RCZ R.

Both models take power to the front wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. No automatics here.
