PSA Peugeot-Citroen�s December webzine issue provides us a premature view of Peugeot�s upcoming 207 RC. To be presented officially at the Geneva Show in March, the 207 RC is fitted with the most powerful version yet of PSA-BMW�s 1.6-litre Twinscroll Turbo engine producing 175Hp & 240 Nm of torque (the same motor is also used on the 2007 MINI Cooper S). According to Peugeot, the RC needs 7,1 sec for the 0 to 100km/h (62mph) sprint and it reaches a top speed of 220 km/h (137mph).
While the 207 RC�s specs are among the best in its class, we�re kinda disappointed with its subtle exterior looks, especially when compared with Renault�s Clio RS and Opel�s Corsa OPC. Don�t get me wrong, I�m a sucker for the 207�s looks, but the RC in particular, is a GTi and in this category you�d expect something much more compelling. At least it gets a set of bucket seats in the interior to differentiate itself from its (much) less powerful siblings.
