Top 5 Technological Features of the Peugeot 308 GTi
There’s no denying that the Peugeot 308 GTi is a striking vehicle and it offers the ultimate compact yet sporting style to suit your lifestyle. Designed by Peugeot Sport, it has been designed with a sporty, assertive exterior for presence on the road. To truly understand the driving experience offered by the 308 GTi, you need to learn more about the technology which has been integrated into the design to deliver a sporty performance.
- Efficient and powerful engine
The Peugeot 308 GTi delivers a powerful performance thanks to the THP 270 Stop & Start petrol engine. This engine has been designed by Peugeot Sport to deliver all the performance of a sports car and includes cutting edge moving parts for a superior driving experience. The 200 kW of power and 330 Nm of torque delivered by the 308 GTi are perfectly balanced, even at top speeds.
- Strengthened gearbox
The six-speed gearbox of the Peugeot 308 GTi works in perfect harmony with the engine and the gearbox can easily handle the power the vehicle delivers due to it being strengthened by a thermo-chemical process which increases resistance to wear and fatigue. This means you continue to receive optimal performance from your strengthened gearbox into the future.
- Versatile suspension
The Peugeot 308 GTi features a meticulously designed suspension system which can keep up with the sporty performance of the vehicle. The suspension system has a number of features including calibrated shock absorber with a hydraulic damping stop to limit noise, a progressive bump stop which has been designed to start working as soon as compression starts, and stiff springs to create a sportier drive.
- Torsen® limited-slip differential
The Torsen limited-slip differential is available exclusively with the Peugeot 308 GTi 270 and provides torque to the wheel with the most grip. This allows for dynamic and precise cornering. This system is incorporated into your gearbox and means you can accelerate easily after cornering, allowing for precise and intuitive manoeuvring around bends.
- Balanced design
Peugeot Sport have designed the 308 GTi to be perfectly balanced with a streamlined, lightweight design. The wide tracks are ideal for gripping the road and your 308 GTi will be fitted with Michelin Pilot Super Sport 235/35 R19 tyres. Your tyres will really last the distance due to the inclusion of a pseudo-McPherson front axle. At the rear, the vehicle features the deformable torsion-beam rear axle to complement the balanced driving experience.
