A quick insight into what this gorgeous and immaculate car is all about. The Peugeot RCZ R was the French firms most powerful production car when introduced. The R has been developed by Peugeot Sport, the first time it has had its mitts on a road car since the 205 T16. A sub-6.0sec 0-60 time and limited 155mph top speed made it the quickest Peugeot by far The RCZ R has a turbocharged 1.6-litre engine just like the THP 200 RCZ (the previous range-topper), still driving the front wheels only. However, this new EP6CDTR engine has a reinforced engine block, specific turbo and exhaust manifolds, stronger conrods and new forged pistons developed with Mahle Motorsport (the last 20 Le Mans winners have used Mahle pistons). All this takes power up to 266bhp at 6000rpm, while 243lb ft of torque is produced from 1900rpm all the way to 5500rpm. Despite this incredibly high specific output (166bhp per litre) and a 0-62mph time of 5.9 seconds, the RCZ R is actually the most efficient model in the petrol RCZ line-up, with impressive claimed figures of 44.8mpg on the combined cycle and 145g/km of CO2 emissions. The focus hasnt simply been on the powertrain, however. For a start the front brakes are now huge 380mm discs clamped by Alcon calipers. Ride height is down 10mm, while the suspension is 14 per cent stiffer at the front and 44 per cent firmer at the rear. The wheels are also half an inch wider, while tracks, toe and camber have also been adjusted accordingly. All this is topped off by a Torsen limited-slip diff in the front axle.
