Hands-on Peugeot 208 GTi

Following the success of the 208, Peugeot UK launched  the RH-drive 200 hp hot-hatch version in spring 2013...

The all-new Peugeot  208GTi was launched in Malaya about six months later (Oct 2013).


No test-drive was allowed at then (and even today?) but "for RM139,888 there’s really no better value you can get from a performance car (like this)" - read full review by LIVE LIFE DRIVE.



Only recently  I was asked by a friend to test and verify the printed performance data using my data-logger the same way I did for the 308T4 many many yrs ago.

speed-time chart for the 208 GTi


Acceleration
0-100km/hr ..... 7.05 seconds
0-160km/hr ... 15.75 seconds
0-200km/hr.... 29.05 seconds

Maximum Speed at 6250 rpm
1st gear ......... 61 km/hr
2nd gear....... 103 km/hr
3rd gear ...... 145 km/hr
4th gear ........185 km/hr
5th gear ....... 230 km/hr (electronically limited?)
6th gear.... out of breath (probably the 6th gear ratio was designed as overdrive to save fuel?)
