In a recent interview, Peugeot Managing Director has revealed that the 308 R concept, which was unveiled at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, could be headed for production.
Speaking to Top Gear UK, Maxime Picat said "We will create specific high-line versions of our cars. For example the 208 GTi and RCZ R. There is room for a 308 R that uses the same engine as the concept car at Frankfurt."
Picat also said he gave permission to the Peugeot Sport team to create cars for customers and hinted "the potential 308 R will be developed by Peugeot sport to use sport technologies."
As a reminder, the 308 R concept is powered by a 1.6-liter THP engine which produces 270 hp and 330 Nm of torque. Power is sent to the front wheels via a six-speed manual transmission and a Torsen differential.
