VIDEO: On board the Peugeot RCZ R at Goodwood

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TY1qiy-LK1M&feature=youtu.be

If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to tear up the historic hill at glorious Goodwood, you’re in luck – Peugeot UK has provided us with a clip of the recently-unveiled Peugeot RCZ R undertaking the climb – from racing driver Bradley Philpot’s point of view.

As you can see, it’s not at all a long run – only 1.86 km, to be exact – but still, there are some rather narrow sections that seem to spring out of nowhere, so it’s not exactly a stroll in the park.

The most powerful production Peugeot ever has 270 hp and 330 Nm of torque at its disposal, thanks to a tuned 1.6 litre THP engine. Armed with a six-speed manual gearbox, it completes the century sprint in under six seconds before going on to hit a limited 250 km/h.

Closer to home, the facelifted Peugeot RCZ is now available – RM244k is asked for the THP 163 variant (163 hp, 240 Nm) with a six-speed auto ‘box.

    • you can never never never smoked RCZ with your pathetic vios, even 308T you only can smell its smoke.
      you thought by adding spoiler and bodykit and TRD sport sticker can add hp to your underpower vios?
      you really dont know how far apart 141nm to 240nm to 330nm.
