it'll weigh around 1100 kilos, so 204 bhp is pretty damn good  ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Of course it won't. If people are that fond of the 205 and how epic they were - buy one. They are cheap enough. Frustrates me how people talk about the 205 as if it's an extinct animal. There are probably more for sale at any one time than the GTi6 for example. I particularly liked one comment someone made along the lines of 'Have you driven one recently?'. ________________________________________ |

I'm waiting for them to take it up a gear and release this Its not just the styling of the concept that is impressive. The SR1 will also feature a hybrid four-wheel-drive powertrain, combining a 240bhp 1.6-litre turbo petrol engine up front with a 95bhp electric motor at the rear. This offers a total output of 313bhp and just 119g/km, and 0g/km possible when the car runs on electric-only mode. The SR1 also features four-wheel-steering, where the rear wheels turn in varying amounts depending on the speed of the car, and with this along with the SR1s lightweight structure, it should enable remarkable handling. This new SR1 Concept is just part of their future plans. This year will see the 200th anniversary for the firm, and along with the revised Lion logo, all Peugeot models will now come with the strapline mOtion&emOtiOn. More info on SR1 concept Also seen this. Not sure if its true...I hope not 208 RCZ  ________________________________________ JAMMA "M44YHW" MAYHEWLOSE WEIGHT NOW - ASK ME HOW - NUTRI-FIX GTi6 LPG, The best of both worlds! 2006: 1997 R reg 306 1.4 Miami - Diablo Red - DEAD 2007: 1999 V reg 306 1.4 Meridian - Diablo Red - SOLD 2007-09: 1998 S reg 306 GTi6 - Diablo Red - DEAD 2009-10: 1998 R reg Corsa 1.2 - Blue - SOLD 2010-13: 2001 Y reg 306 GTi6 LPG - Diablo Red - DEAD 2013 - 2013: 2000 X reg GTi6 LPG - Moonstone Blue - DEAD 2013 - current: 2001 X reg GTi6 LPG - Diablo Red ]FOR SALE[/b] "I LIVE FOR THE 306" |
