Tuning on the internet usually means a Lamborghini Aventador or Ferrari 458 Italia with a new carbon fiber nose and two turbos. But to most people in Europe, tuning means taking your car to a guy to have it chipped, not an Aventador… a Peugeot.
French tuning company Digiservices has just released a video showing what they can do with the Peugeot 208, the 1.6 HDi with 92 hp to be exact. By boosting turbo pressure, output for this 1.6 diesel engine is increased to 128 hp, while torque is raised to 273 Nm.
Last year, the 208 was the 6th best selling car in Europe, with almost 240,000. Just how many had the 1.6 HDi engine? Probably not a lot, because it's one of the most expensive models.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s.
