Peugeot 308 GTi 2011 City Car

Peugeot GTI back to the world, with the launch of the Peugeot 308 GTI, a sporty sedan for a new era: good for day to day driving and environmentally friendly. Available exclusively as a model five-door only, it combines a modern synthesis of the flexibility and maneuverability.

Sports increased over time

308 GTI has a sporty character that is consistent with our present time:

* As an athletic heel-to-day by day and a high comfort level on the board at all engine speeds, but stopped a vehicle that would be special, but still able to offer real excitement when “the conductor of his” asked he.
* Environmentally friendly, combining a good level of performance with fuel economy is only 6.9 litres/100 km 159 g / km of CO2.

In France, Peugeot 308 GTI will be launched on June 10, the price of € 26.900.

Engine: 1.6 liter new THP147 kW (200 hp) with 6-speed manual transmission

A new 1.6-liter THP 147 kW (200 bhp) under the hood of the Peugeot 308 RCZ Coupe Sport GTI and effective in every sense of the word of the generous torque and power, fuel economy and low CO2 emissions, and in full compliance with emission standards Euro 5.

Meeting these environmental issues a priority for this machine and is the hallmark of modern and responsible approach …

With a maximum torque of 275 Nm (from 1700 rpm to 4500 rpm) and maximum power of 147 kW (5500-6800 rpm), 308 GTI benefits from training and equipment of the highest order of acceleration (80-120 km / h in 6.7 seconds in fifth gear , from 0 to 100 km / h in 7.7 s, 1000 m standing start in 27.8 s. ..) while its fuel consumption is 6.9 km litres/100 in combined cycle (159 g / km CO2).

To achieve this result, the engine 1598 cm3 four-cylinder combination – world premiere – all the latest technology:

* VHF (Turbo-charged with high pressure) with the twin-scroll turbocharger for a quick response and engine performance at very low speeds and gasoline direct injection to ensure optimal fuel consumption,
* VTi (Variable Valve Timing and injection) with variable intake valve lift combined with variable intake and exhaust camshafts, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

The twin-scroll turbocharger for maximum response

As the name suggests, these groups “twin-scroll turbocharger” exhaust each pair of cylinders in the exhaust manifold and turbocharger, by combining the flow of exhaust gas cylinders 1 and 4 and those second and third. Both the flow of exhaust gas turbo-charger is directed to “roll” and combining this optimal directly on the turbine of the turbocharger, make sure to maximize.

This configuration, which separates the flue gas until they enter the turbocharger turbine, the dynamic nature of their exploitation altogether.

Gas flow can accelerate the turbocharger turbine and speed 220 000 rpm. At the same time it causes the compressor to push air inside the air intake system before entering the engine. A pressure relief valve (discharge valve) to work if the air inlet pressure exceeds the maximum 1.3 bars of pressure increase.

These systems ensure exceptional engine response, since the Turbo starts at 1000 rpm, allowing the engine to produce maximum torque from just 1700 rpm.

high pressure direct injection for optimal overall efficiency

gasoline direct injection, it is possible to combine the engine with high fuel consumption. It is also very effective in terms of emissions.

High pressure pump with two pistons, mechanically driven and mounted on the end of the intake camshaft, injector rail supply through a distributor of stainless steel. Fuel injector spray high pressure directly and laterally into the combustion chamber at a maximum pressure of 120 bar.

Fuel, distributed evenly in the combustion chamber allows more complete combustion and therefore better overall engine efficiency. In addition, direct injection helps reduce the number of incomplete burning of fuel by limiting the amount of fuel in contact with the cylinder wall.

Turbo petrol engine also has a relatively high compression ratio 10.5: 1.

Variable Valve Timing and Injection (VTi) technology to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions

This technology combines variable valve timing system on the intake camshaft and exhaust system with variable intake valve lift. The latter is possible (from the BMW Group’s Valvetronic) lift valve for gradual adjustments based on the gas pedal position.

Using this system to improve the thermodynamic efficiency of gasoline engines to reduce fuel consumption significantly (especially in the partial load), and therefore CO2 emissions.

Technology Sound System

Engine noise “from the 1.6 THP 147 kW (200 hp) has also been working diligently to meet the needs of customers with special requirements in terms of acoustic technology offers a Sound System. Various harmonic function of vehicle acceleration. As a real instrument, vibrating membranes with a delay built provides voice-controlled and amplified by the acoustic channel, at the same time controlling noise on long trips.

Wheels and suspension: adaptation

Mark expertise found full expression, which maximizes the pleasure drive through road holding and perfect dynamic and effective stability, and ensuring a high level of comfort, and convenience every day.

Peugeot 308 GTI suspension setup is efficient benefits of the platform 2: McPherson type suspension front and rear suspension consists of torsion beam rear.

Peugeot 308 GTI was adopted, however, some special features:

* A joint front suspension combine with larger diameter bearings from the three platforms
* Set special shock absorbers front and rear, including the spring before the unit is adjusted / shock absorber is equipped with 22 mm 20 mm longer on the other versions
* 18-inch alloy wheels as standard (“Lincancabur”) clad with 225/40 R18 tires

Finally, the ride height is lower than 10 mm, which reduces the height of 308-1488 cm Peugeot and by lowering the center of gravity of a proportional amount.

The end result is a balanced wheel drive before installation to ensure maximum accuracy and efficiency and driving comfort and safety at all times.

precise steering and responsive

In accordance with brand knowledge in this field, management ensures exceptional accuracy and is a very sensitive factor underlying the good driveability of the car.

The electro-hydraulic power steering (with an output of 650 W depending on the circumstances) depending on vehicle speed, steering wheel rotation speed and temperature of the fluid. This will enable continuous power output and facilitate low-speed maneuvers.

braking efficiency

To ensure maximum braking performance, both in terms of strength and endurance, the car is equipped with a generous size front ventilated disc brakes: 340×30 mm.

Specifications at the rear is the same generous with 290×12 mm brake discs, a new set-up for 308.

ESP as standard, including Dynamic Stability Control (CDS), Electronic Brake force emergency brake braking (electronic brake) and assist (EBA). CDS, ASR (traction control) and TSA functions can be disconnected at the same time (ESP) which will be demanding and experienced drivers to take full advantage of the ability of the car.

ESP also includes intelligent traction control, advanced traction control that allows the vehicle to move off and be done effectively in poor road conditions (ice, snow, rain, etc.) In such a condition., Automatically adjusts corporate strategy by enabling the slip is more or less on each front wheel.
