Peugeot has pulled the curtains of the 308 GTI and it has been more than 10 years since the French marquee brought out a GTI in this class of vehicle.

 

The Peugeot 308 GTi will be powered by the same 1.6 litre THP, 200ps engine that will be featured in the RCZ coupe model, making it a credible competitor to the VW Golf GTI, which pumps out 211ps. The THP engine which is fitted with a twin-Scroll turbocharger and a high pressure direct-injection system with Variable valve and timing injection technology, produces 275 Nm of torque. It come mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox. The 0 to 100 km/h sprint takes 7.7 seconds while fuel consumption is rated at 6.9 liters/100 km and CO2 emission is 159 g/km.

 

A sound system technology has also been employed to make sure the engine rumble provides for just the right sporty sound that customers will be looking for. The GTI

'credible competitor' to the Golf GTi ?!!! it will lose outright in a straight dash (6.9s for Golf GTi century sprint). in terms of road handling, i doubt its rear torsion beam is gonna do it any good. combined with the 308 chassis which isn't meant for sports /road handling performance, i think peugeot is throwing $ down the drain again unless they can price it real cheap and make it a budget GTi

It is about total experience rather than mere spec that will differentiate the better gti.

 

Full fun factor still goes to Cooper s I think. But this gti is the perfect balance of pretty face with brains

  • Ranking hot pot ingredients

    For some reason, I feel like I've eaten quite a lot of hot pot in the past month. Whether at Hai Di Lao or DIY-ing at home, hot pot ingredients have been on my mind. So, I thought I'd offer my own ranking of hot pot ingredients.  S Tier Xia hua (duh. actually the ones you get in supermarkets are really legit.) Fried tofu skin The Hai Di Lao mushroom appetiser  A tier Sliced fish  Non-marinated meats (Dondondonki is ever-reliable) Scallop

    I never knew Monster Trucks were so popular here

    Although it appeared to be selling out fast back when my friend shared the link to the Monster Jam Singapore event some months ago, I could never expect just how popular the event turned out to be until the day itself. You see, originating in the USA, Monster Trucks aren't really an international phenomenon, unlike F1 or other forms of motorsports. Even someone like me, who's very interested in cars, doesn't really know much about these massive machines. And yet, on the day of the even
