The return of a legend: Peugeot E-208 GTi

Following the success of the concept model, Peugeot has officially unveiled the production version of the Peugeot E-208 GTi. The new car pays tribute to the classic 205 GTi while setting new standards in the electric segment.

The new Peugeot E-208 GTi was developed by the Peugeot Sport team to offer unmatched driving pleasure.

Dynamics and performance

Sports enhancements

Unlike the standard model, the GTi version features a stiffer suspension (lowered by 30 mm), wider tracks, and high-performance Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. The engineers have also added a limited-slip differential for maximum grip in corners.

Interior with a history

The cabin is inspired by the classic 205 GTi 1.6 and 1.9 models, featuring special seats with red accents, Alcantara, and the iconic GTi logo on the steering wheel.
