Let’s just start off by saying the Peugeot 208 looks awesome, even more so now that it’s gotten a sporty look. Yet, there’s something a lot different about the 208 GTi Concept from the old one: it’s more civilized, more luxurious and less boy-racerish.
The concept is based on the three-door version of the 208, and make no mistake, while it’s called a concept now, this car is very much a production reality.

The exterior is distinguished by 36mm wider track, at the front and at the rear, lower spoilers and lower skirt extensions. The wheels have a red stripe on just one of the spokes and there’s a single twin exhaust at the back.

The interior is even more impressive, with a leather flat-bottomed steering wheel that looks lie it came of a spaceship and bright red dials. What’s more, part of the seat is Nappa and the dash fascia has Alcantara.

Expect the production car to have a 200 horsepower 1.6-liter THP engine, giving it a sprint time of about 6.5s.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
