    The cars run of 18-inch ‘Diamant’ wheels as a standard. They come fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport 3 tyres in the appropriate dimension. At the rear, the lacquered black diffuser and stylish twin exhaust pipes lend these Peugeots more distinctiveness. GT signature is integrated into the tailgate, and can be also seen on the front grille and wheel arches. The range of colours for these models has been extended via the addition of the Magnetic Blue shade.

    Inside, there is more ambience, created by the roof lining and upper window pillars which have been finished in anthracite. Red stitching is what adds a performance air to the upholstery trim and it can be seen on the dashboard, door panels, gear lever gaiter and floor mats. Aluminium has been used for the pedals, while stainless steel sill finishers – for the door apertures.

    Next, the rride height has been lowered by 7 mm at the front and 10 mm at the rear. The engine range comprises of one petrol and one diesel unit, which already meet the Euro 6 emissions standards.
