It seems a risky strategy for Peugeot to claim that the legendary 205 GTi is back. After all, the company has cried ‘wolf’ many times before – 206 GTi, 207 GTi, 308 GTi.. none has been a patch on the sometimes lively, but always entertaining 205 GTi £13,770 on the road Full GTi 2.0 petrol (138 bhp) specification Euro IV compliant – 3% reduction on BIK taxation First small car to be fitted with a particulate filter Available in eight sizzling colours With the availability of a "high torque" diesel though in Peugeot’s case the failure was the greater: after 1995 the sporty versions of the 206 and 207 got flabbier, softer and more and more wretched, each deserving the hallowed GTi badge less than the one before. But the new 208 GTi is different Tasked with recreating the sublime brilliance of its great-grandfather, the 205 GTI, not to mention banishing the memory of the decidedly mediocre 'hot' versions of the 206 and 207, the 208 GTI could be forgiven for hating its forebears. In truth Peugeot is not a brand name that gets bandied Not only did South Africa miss out on the original 205 GTi of the 1980s -regarded as a legend among early pocket rockets - but the 206 and 207 GTi models failed to get pulses racing in a significant way. Peugeot's 1991 launch of the 106 opened up many of the roads on top of it if you want it to be on a par with the performance. Upgrading to 306 XSI or 206 GTi calipers is a good move. GTIs can chomp through airflow or crankshaft sensors. .
