2008 Peugeot 207 SW production version caught out in the open

Pug lovers at Forum-Peugeot have managed to capture the upcoming 207 SW with its pants down. As anticipated, the 207 SW is nothing more than a 207 SW Outdoor concept without the SUV outfit –although we might see a crossover version going into production in the near future. Like its hatchback siblings, the 207 SW will be equipped with 1.4 90Hp & 1.6 120Hp petrol engines and 1.4HDI 75Hp, 1.6HDi 90Hp & 1.6HDi 110Hp diesel motors. The 207 SW will most probably make its debut at the Frankfurt Show in September. -Continued: Click “Read More…” below to see a high-res image gallery

Geneva Preview: Peugeot 207 RC 1.6 Turbo 175Hp

Making its world premiere at the 2007 Geneva Show, the 207 RC features the same 1.6 Turbo engines as the MINI Cooper S producing 175Hp and 240Nm of torque. Only difference here is that Peugeot’s hot mini hatch –unknown why, is equipped with a 5speed manual gearbox whereas the Cooper S gets a 6speed box. Funny enough, both hatches feature a 0 to 100 km/h (62mph) figure of 7,1 sec. As for top speed, the MINI goes up to 225 km/h (140 mph) while the 207 RC up to 220 km/h (138 mph).

Appearance-wise, we’re kinda disappointed with the RC’s overly subtle exterior looks cause practically, the only element that differentiates it from any other 207 are the metallic mirror coverings. Same goes for the interior as the most significant and visible change are the sport bucket seats. Strange if you think about the models that the 207 RC will be put up against eg. Opel Corsa OPC , Renault Clio Sport etc. -Continued: Click “Read More…” below to read the official press release and a high-res gallery

Geneva Preview: Peugeot 207 SW Outdoor Concept

As with all versions of its 207 compact, Peugeot is previewing the upcoming 207 SW with a concept. The 4.156 mm long 207 Outdoor ads a crossover look to the SW (which should be unveiled in September at the Frankfurt Show) thanks to its 4x4 themed bodykit and the slightly raised road clearance. Beside the large panorama glass roof and a separately opening back window the Concept Car is characterized by the redesigned rear end which draws several styling elements from the 407 SW and 1007. -Continued: Click “ Read More…” below to see the press release and a high-res image gallery
