2012 Peugeot RCZ R Concept

And for tomorrow… the RCZ R

Striving to be at the top of this exclusive, dynamic… and sporty character, the ‘RCZ R Concept’ is unveiled at the Paris Motor Show. In a matt black and copper livery it echoes another Concept Car unveiled at the show: notably the ‘Onyx’ supercar.

The ‘RCZ R Concept’ previews a future version of enhanced sportiness, which will be introduced into the range at the end of next year.

The sporting success and the passion aroused by the RCZ Racing Cup could not remain without a response for use off the track.

So, the Peugeot Sport and PSA Group Development teams are working together to adapt technology originating from the world of motor sport to make production and once again turn a dream into reality!

Its new 1.6 l THP 260bhp engine will make it the most powerful production model in Peugeot's history. A specific power of more than 160bhp/l, among the highest in the world for a production vehicle, and emissions of CO2 of approximately 155g/km, positions it in a range of new high efficiency.

Coherent with this engine, special suspension and wheels combined with a Torsen® limited slip differential promise dynamic and effective sensations of a very high level.

A special exterior signature and interior treatment will perfect this version with a high level of performance assured to offer intense driving sensations.
