Set to open its door on July 12, the Goodwood Festival of Speed will host two red RCZ R models that will mark the vehicles public debut. In addition, one of the cars will also perform dynamically in front of the Goodwood crowd with UK’s Peugeot 208 GTi ambassador Bradley Philpot behind the steering wheel.

Powered by the award-winning 1.6-liter THP engine, the Peugeot RCZ R boasts 260 BHP and the French claim “its efficiency will be a benchmark with power/capacity among the highest in the world for production vehicles at over 160bhp/liter with CO2 emissions targeted at just 155g/km.” Thanks to its bespoke suspension setup, wheels design and limited slip differential, the Peugeot RCZ R also promises “intense dynamic sensations”, the company adds.

The new Peugeot RCZ R will be launched at the end of the year.
