207 RC
Notes
The Peugeot 207 RC features turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine producing 175 horsepower (128 kW) at 5,500 rpm and 192 lb-ft torque (260 Nm) from 1,700-4,500 rpm through five-speed manual transmission, achieving 0-62 mph in 6.7 seconds and 137 mph top speed. Reinforced McPherson struts in front and stiffer torsion beam rear suspension provide performance-oriented handling at 1,325 kg kerb weight.
The shift from naturally-aspirated 2.0-liter in 206 RC to turbocharged 1.6-liter configuration reflects early adoption of downsizing methodology for improved fuel economy while maintaining performance output, with broader torque curve enabling stronger mid-range acceleration compared to predecessor. The 207 RC represents Peugeot transition toward forced-induction performance strategy in hot hatch segment, competing against Renault Clio Sport and Ford Fiesta ST in European B-segment performance category during late 2000s production period.
