What is the price for the GTI badge on the Peugeot E-208?

A price that accompanies the return of a legendary badge, now associated with a 100% electric powertrain by Peugeot.

Peugeot takes advantage of the week of the 24 Hours of Le Mans to officially announce the opening of orders for its new E-208 GTI. The first electric representative of this sporty lineage born in the 1980s with the 205 GTI, it is priced from 42,900 euros in France.

Developed jointly by Peugeot Sport and the brand’s design teams, this version is distinguished primarily by its mechanics. The city car is equipped with an electric motor producing 281 hp and 345 Nm of torque, allowing it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.5 seconds. Its top speed is limited to 180 km/h.

The battery retains a gross capacity of 54 kWh but benefits from a specific thermal management system designed to maintain performance over time. Depending on the chosen tires, the WLTP range reaches up to 375 km.

Peugeot embraces sportiness

Beyond the powertrain, the E-208 GTI benefits from significant work on the chassis. The ground clearance is lowered by 25 mm, the tracks are wider, and a mechanical limited-slip differential is introduced. Peugeot Sport engineers have also revised the springs, dampers, and braking system, featuring 355 mm front discs clamped by fixed four-piston calipers.

Visually, the French sports car adopts several references to historic GTIs: touches of red, wheels inspired by those of the 205 GTI, widened wheel arches, and specific seats. The interior also features a dedicated presentation, with sporty upholstery, predominantly red instrumentation, and a specific steering wheel. With this E-208 GTI, Peugeot marks the return of an iconic label while adapting it to the constraints of electrification. It remains to be seen whether this new generation will charm GTI enthusiasts as much as its prestigious predecessors.
