The production model is named as Peugeot RCZ [not Peugeot 308 RC-z] - based on 308RC-z concept though. Its name, RCZ, symbolises this special and unique position within the Peugeot range, as it is the first Peugeot car which does not use the usual zero [x0y] or double zero [x00y] numbering system.
The challenge faced by the project team is to complete the development of this new vehicle in a particularly short period of time. The Peugeot RCZ will be revealed for the first time to the public, in its final form at the 63rd Frankfurt Motor Show.
The Peugeot RCZ is expected to go on sale in Spring 2010. Long way to go but long enough to save some money for it..., izinit?
The power plants to include the 1.6-litre turbo petrol from the Mini JCW, tuned to deliver an extra 10bhp, while the entry level will be powered by the 150bhp 1.6-litre THP from the Peugeot 207 GT and a 2-litre HDI diesel offering similar power. Transmission choices will be a manual or automatic, both with six speeds.
Peugeots promising sharp dynamics, too, saying the RCZ is aimed at enthusiasts who are particularly discerning with regards to driving enjoyment. In the UK expected prices for the RH-drive to start at around £20,000, undercutting the base Audi TT by a quarter.
