Peugeot 208 T16 Pikes Peak tech specs

Peugeot has revealed more about the 208 T16 Pikes Peak that Sébastien Loeb will be driving at the Colorado event in June.

While the mid-rear engine layout has been inspired by the infamous 205 T16 Group B rally car from the 1980s, many of the components are derived from the more recent 908 endurance racer.

They include not only the 3.2 litre V6 bi-turbo engine, transmission and air intake, but also the huge rear wing that should generate plenty of downforce.

As suspected, the carbon fibre bodywork encloses a steel spaceframe chassis. It’s a combination that makes the 208 T16 extremely light and helps produce some very impressive acceleration figures.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

Image
The Alfa Romeo MiTo supermini is now available with the innovative two-cylinder TwinAir petrol engine. Although its capacity is only 875 cc, a turbocharger and the MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve control system mean it produces a respectable 83 bhp (62 kW / 85 PS) and 145 Nm (103 lb/ft) of torque. Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
