This is probably the first Limited Edition for the Peugeot RCZ, the French Audi TT fighter that first went on sale last May. Limited to only 75 right-hand-drive units for the UK, the “Asphalt” limited edition features special matte Telluric grey bodywork. It is based on the range topping GT trim and powered by the 200 THP petrol engine.

Besides the non shiny paint job, the LE gets a black roof, Asphalt badging and 19-inch Solstice black alloys complemented with matching black brake calipers. The interior features more Asphalt branding, stitched Nappa leather trim and an Alcantara/leather steering wheel and gear stick. It is priced at £29,995.

The auto costs RM218,888 while the manual is priced at RM223,888. Click here for the launch report and here for our test drive report from Spain.

      Quoting from the article, “the “Asphalt” limited edition features special matte Telluric grey bodywork”

      Have your eyes checked. If you can’t read at least look at the pictures.

      The car is grey.

    The design can excite you quickly but you may get bored of it quickly too, maybe because the front looks alot like the 308.

    I went to the showroom in Naza World to take a hard long look at this car and I can only conclude that the French still has some way to go in catching up with the Italian when it comes to playing with buyers passion and emotion.

    I mean the RCZ is a stunning beauty, don’t get me wrong, but it just doesn’t attract men like a bitch on heat like an Alfa Brera.
