Ultimate Peugeot revealed!
Pop quiz: what's the most powerful Peugeot ever? And how powerful is/was it?
Excluding the 908 Le Mans racer, of course. That'd be cheating. Any ideas? Anyone?
We'll put you of your misery. The most powerful Peugeot ever is this, the new 407 Coupe powered by a new 3.0-litre diesel.
Yes, the most powerful Peugeot ever is a diesel. It's 179kW of powerful, to be precise, and will haul the big coupe to 100km/h in 7.7 seconds. It also puts out a meaty 450Nm of torque.
Are we alone in being slightly surprised that there's never been a more powerful Peugeot, somewhere in the depths of the French marque's history, that somewhere, in among all those epic hot hatches, there's nothing that'd give this worthy but not-especially-exciting 407 a good duffing?
