208 GTi Limited Edition

Peugeot is obviously pretty keen on creating a buzz around its new 208 GTi.

The latest marketing tactic is the announcement of a Limited Edition model that’ll be among the very first cars off the line when production starts next April. Just fifty-four examples are going to be available globally, with twenty-nine of those destined for the UK.

Compared to the regular 208 GTi, the changes are limited to some cosmetic tweaks and some extra equipment, so performance and handling should be identical.

Identifying the Limited Edition is a unique Pearly White Satin paint finish, contrasting Black Onyx 17” alloy wheels and a Union Flag decal on the lower grille. Each car’s individual build number will be etched onto the driver’s window and the top of the instrument binnacle, too.

The enhanced specification comprises a DAB digital radio (perhaps unbelievably, the first time such a device has ever been offered on a Peugeot) and a satellite navigation system.

In the UK, the 208 GTi Limited Edition will cost £20,495. Whether or not that represents good value is rather a mystery though, because Peugeot has yet to reveal the price of the standard version.
