Car: BMW E36 323i superleggera (-85 kg) Rep Power: 56 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I've seen some pictures of it here and there a while ago, but with the latest car mag I read, the Peugeot 308 RC Z has gotten my attention. It's a lightweight 2+2 coupe based on the 308 hatchback. They brought the weight down to 1.200 kg (2646 lb) by some lightweight materials - not a new record, but quite light compared to other cars in this class. It's powered by the same 1.6l turbo that propels the new Mini Cooper S, only this version has 216hp. It goes from 0-62mph in 7 secs, does 235 km/h (147 mph) and is supposed to use 6.7 liters per 100 km (35 mpg). And the most important bit: I think it looks stunning inside and out: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The realworld version is to be introduced on this years IAA.

| I don't like it's face though all the rest is good. It does indeed look a lot like a German car, at least on the outside. Loved that front window detail too. | |

First I hate that Nose-thing Peugot do to all their front-ends now. It may make them recognizable ... but it´s ugly from every angle. I think this is a bigger design screw up than BMW´s two or three years ago. This is truly terrible. The Rest of the Car looks interesting, reminds me much of an Audi TT/Porsche Cockster, just messed with ... or improved. Hard to tell, need to see the proportions IRL ... maybe that works, maybe not.

| 1200kg.. checked 1.6turbo... checked. turbo + light weight = happiness. its gonna be a brilliant car to play around, besides that 1.6 has plenty of power to squeeze from a new ECU+intake system(which both doesnt ruin the warranty). i just hope it will handle well.
