VIDEO: Peugeot RCZ vs a bicycle down a snowy road

It’s not often that we feature promo videos on this site, as only the more interesting and less-self-aggrandising ones are allowed in. The latest effort by Peugeot Italia, which pits the facelifted Peugeot RCZ against a mountain bike down a snowy hill – we know, we know, a very original idea – is deemed worthy for our readers. Just.

The highly stylised RCZ gets a fittingly artful video adaptation, with a matching wicked soundtrack by Tommy Bass to boot. Be warned though, you might want to mute it if you’re in the anti-dubstep camp.

Driven by five-time Italian Rally champion Paolo Andreucci, the Peugeot RCZ slips and slides down the snowy hill with fellow Italian downhill bike racing ace Lorenzo Suding close in tow. Cue a few handbrake turns and Suding finds himself jumping over the car for the quickest line down. Oh so cliché but it makes a good viewing.

Watch the video to find out who wins. Just kidding, of course the RCZ triumphs. Why would anyone expect otherwise?

  • Of course RCZ will win, you’re watching a promo video on the RCZ. If the promo is about Myvi, Myvi would even whack the hell out of a RCZ or any other supercar.

      • Yes, bicycle is faster than the RCZ if you compare power per kg. More environmental friendly too.

        And no, that’s not my point. 5 person figured it out. Go figure.

    Get your facts right guys. The car in the video is the 2013 RCZ R, which is upgraded to 260hp. Oh well if only this car is made RWD

      It’s like calling an AMG a regular merc, or an M3 a regular 3 series, or the Malaysian favourite, the GTI a regular golf. This car deserves a bit more more respect than that.

    If they’re trying to make the RCZ look like fun, I think it failed miserably. The bike looks like it pumps adrenaline in far greater volume than the car could ever. Plus you’re not stuck on the road on that bike.
    Really Peugeot? Is this your best shot?

    I shall now look for a downhill bike, because it’s cooler.

    the RCZ will have depollution system fault after driving for 1km. So the bike is much better bet.
