Peugeot’s 200 bhp 1.6-liter gasoline engine that powers the new Peugeot 208 GTI and RCZ Sports Coupe models has just been awarded the 2013 International Engine of the Year prize.
Developed in cooperation with BMW, the 1.6-liter powerplant won the much-coveted award in the 1.4-liter to 1.8-liter category. Built at the Francaise de Mecanique plant in Douvrin, France, the engine powers the 308 lineup as well.
In addition, the mill can also be found in BMW's F20 114i, 116i and 118i models and the F30 316i and 320i EfficientDynamics variations of the 3 Series.
Introduced in 2004, the engine known under the “Prince” codename was fitted for the first time in the Peugeot 207. Later, the direct-injection unit was mounted on a wide range of PSA Peugeot Citroen-developed vehicles, including the Peugeot 508 and the Citroen DS3.
