Peugeot Product Director, Xavier Peugeot said: "All the strength of style of the RCZ is enhanced by the very dynamic performance and the 270bhp of this R version which will delight the enthusiasts of sports cars."

With 270bhp (199kW) RCZ R is the most powerful production model in Peugeot’s long and famous history. The RCZ R accelerates from 0 to 62mph in less than six-seconds and demonstrates the expertise of the brand with CO2 contained at only 145g/km, which leads the category of performance Sports Coupés. This is achieved by utilizing the downsizing capacity of the engine, saving weight and ensuring aerodynamic optimization.

Matt black roof arches distinguish and embellish the RCZ R. Its suspension is lowered by 10mm and the alloy wheels are 19 inches in diameter to optimize grip and give the RCZ R an expressive posture. Its bespoke alloys have a two-tone diamond / black matt, technical and sporty finish with an ‘R’ monogram milled directly onto a visible part of the alloy wheel. They have been designed to accommodate and optimize the cooling of new larger brakes, the red calipers at the front are signed ‘Peugeot Sport’. The perfectly integrated large fixed rear spoiler, ensures better downforce while stretching the silhouette’s rear profile view. A specific rear diffuser meets the smooth effect that characterizes the back of RCZ and includes two chromed exhaust pipes, located symmetrically, and a reworked exhaust system for performance and sound.

The exhaust system has an enhanced Sound System linked to the draw of the intake and amplifies the sports character of the new RCZ R engine. The RCZ R is a great performance car with comfort and convenience outside life on the race track.
