Peugeot has today decided to reveal the hardest, fastest production hot hatch to date. It is called the 308 GTI, it is available in two power outputs, and it will arrive soon to do battle with the Ford Focus RS, Renaultsport Megane, VW Golf GTI, Seat Leon Cupra.
The higher spec GTI 270 version, produces a chunkier 270bhp - the same as the RCZ R - and will complete the benchmark sprint in six seconds flat.
Both cars will get to 155mph, and feature a 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine. There's a ‘supercharged' air cooling system, installed below the front bumper, and a new double oil spray system to keep those hard-working pistons cool.
Prices start at £26,555 for the GTI 250, and £28,155 for the GTI 270.
