What you’re looking at here is the most powerful production car Peugeot has ever created - the RCZ R, set to make its debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July. The French automaker showed off a concept version of this hotter R model at the Paris Motor Show last year, and the actual road-going car will be available for purchase toward the end of 2013.
Under the hood is a 1.6-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine good for 260 horsepower, and Peugeot says the car “promises intense dynamic sensations from the legacy of its race-bred experiences.” This evidently means the car will have a unique suspension setup, a specific wheel design and a new Torsen limited-slip differential to keep those front rollers in check.
In addition to a show car, Peugeot will drive a RCZ R during the Festival of Speed weekend, with Bradley Philpot - the man who raced the company’s 208 GTi in the recent 24 Hours of Nürburgring event - at the helm.
