Peugeot has unveiled the 208 GTi 30th Anniversary Edition at the 2014 Goodwood Festival of Speed. More than just a cosmetic special edition, the 30th Anniversary is powered by a new Euro 6 1.6 litre THP petrol engine with 208 hp and 300 Nm. That’s eight horses and 25 Nm more than the standard hot hatch.
Zero to 100 km/h is done in 6.5 seconds, three tenths faster. The improved acceleration is matched by uprated brakes – 323 mm diameter and 28 mm thick discs up front with Brembo fixed four-piston calipers.
Mated to a good ol’ six-speed manual, power goes through a Torsen limited slip differential to the front wheels, like in the RCZ R. The ESP and traction control have been recalibrated to be less intrusive and to “set free the vehicle’s traction and allow the LSD to operate”.
The 30th also gets specific suspension (lowered by 10 mm) and steering settings. The track is wider by 22 mm at the front and 16 mm at the rear, to boot. The 18-inch wheels are wrapped with Michelin Pilot Super Sport 205/40 tyres.
Looks wise, chrome trim have been replaced by matte black bits. At the front, the dark treatment is applied to the grille surround, foglamp bezels and door mirror shells. From the side, you’ll find matte black side skirts and wheel arch extensions. The window weather strip, which finishes with a signature paying homage to the famous 205 GTi, is also finished in the same hue, while the quarter panel bears a “208 GTi 30th” logo.
You would have noticed the unique red and black two-tone, two-material treatment. The front is finished in textured black, contrasting with the new lacquered red at the rear. The two colours are divided by a sharp oblique straight-cut line, as first seen on the Onyx Supercar Concept.
Sales start in November 2014, but the Euro 6 engine has little chance of reaching our shores. Launched here in October 2013, the standard Peugeot 208 GTi is priced at RM139,888. Read our review of the hot hatch.
Peugeot 208 GTi in Malaysia
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Manual! Wowwww! very good car! can smoke all the Preve and Suprima S on the road.
Why only Preve / SS?
Why not GTI? Butthurt level is very high here.
Keep the car, I’ll take the models
This is what Proton should do instead of giving ‘facelook’ only for R3 edition
Did u guys read the star paper. Terrorist in syria use proton blm as car bomb. Be proud of it, at least it is terrorist choice.
u percaya mca’s newspaper?
No doubt that terrorist using BLM as a bomb car.
I think those terrorist is not mean to select certain brand of the car, maybe the BLM is cheapest car they have in their market.
Is not fair to claim terrorist having relationship with proton for the time being.
Hope ur car will be the next target, then u’ll be proud to die in one :)
Your butt hurt because you e driving proton BLM it is? No one in the right mind wish some die like you do. Be careful your curse may turn to yourself and family!
Heloo..y la want to blame Proton because the terrorist use BLM as a car bomb..if the terrorist use perodua are u gonna blame them too..
First,I never saw any peugeot GTi on the road.
Normal 208 three or five door also can see but not GTi.
I’ve seen a 208GTi with a chick driving in a traffic jam heading towards mid valley though.
The standard 208 GTi is already very tempting, now this is even more…
first!
Epic fail…
Nice!
208, 208hp, so expect the 508 to get 508 HORSEPOWWERRR
MOG!! So legit
Will we be able to see this in Malaysia?
Red rear quarters? Reminds me of a certain primate. I don’t think this is such a hot idea…….
So many GTi wannabe haiz…..
First Ford with the Focus….
Now Peugeot wants to follow VW in marketing “XX Editions” as well?
Come up with something new at least…
U dont know much about cars do you. Peugeot has been gtis sonce the 80s in fact alot of automotive journalist awarded the 205 gti as the best hothatchof all time
What’s with the mixture of paint anyway? It looked like the car got into a crash and the owner didn’t had the cash to fix it. *sweat*
Now they are pushing the Prince PSA 1.6 engine to such numbers? I hope reliability+safety is in their minds when they increased the boost and tune it up this time, again.
270bhp version also have..
so no issue having it to produce 208bhp.. sap sap soi saja..
Maybe you dunno about the 270bhp version.. google rcz-r.
Can go to stage 2 also. This is factory fitted turbo and got warranty not ah beng one
That is a sick paintjob,u cant miss it even frm orbit! Awesome!
Look like baboon ass
Nice proper upgrades, but waiting for the 208gti-r… will peugeot make them?
Its 2 conjoined GTI, 1 black, 1 red, both involved in car accident. The engineers connected black front portion to red back portion, like kereta potong.
Output figures another issue,real world performance and engine reliability and refinement another thing..My friend Golf 1.4TSI 140hp/220nm had a hard time wanna smoke a standard Honda Civic EK 1.6…
i bet we are gonna see something like this on Malaysian roads really soon…..i mean the car with the same look, not really the exact car.
Wow… nice HP, manual gearbox… and fabulous colour!
