The guys over at Peugeot are doing their best to promote the new RCZ model. This time, they’ve decided to pair the sports compact with a mountain bike and set a spectacular downhill race.
Italian rally champion Paolo Andreucci was given the mission to drift the Peugeot RCZ down the snowy roads, while the mountain bike was ridden through the slopes by Lorenzo Suding, another Italian title holder.
As expected, the race was eventually won by the French vehicle, but what’s more important is that Peugeot has come up with a thrilling promo that fits the car’s sporty attitude like a glove. Sure, it’s a bit Top Gear-ish, but we like more than the latest automotive ads we’ve seen.
As a reminder, the Peugeot RCZ comes with two 1.6-liter engine options which develop 156 and 200 HP respectively, and an optional 2.0-liter diesel that outputs 163 HP. The RCZ R featured in the video below boasts 260 HP from an upgraded 1.6-liter.
