The manufacturer will also be displaying new and future products, some that make their UK debut at Goodwood.

he latest cars are also on display and include the new 308 CC that now has a 200bhp THP petrol engine  available in its line-up.. Also on display is the popular and stylish RCZ Sports Coupé, in the form of the new Asphalt LE of which only 75 are available in the UK.  The new 508, launched in the UK in April, is available to view in both Saloon and SW.

The Peugeot 3008 HYbrid4 is also on the list, while a number of RCZ Sports Coupes and new 508s in both Saloon and SW body style guises will be entered in the second Goodwood Moving Motor Show.
