Are you sure about Twin turbo :eusa-think: Maybe turbo/supercharger combo ?
Or are you getting mixed up with twin scroll turbo
Thanks for the info anyways :thumbup:

Hi!

No, I´m not messing up. I just wrote what I was told by that Magna guy. By the way also the BMW 1M coupe runs a twin turbo, and it´s the most lovely engine I ever tried. So keep looking forward to a beautiful machine! :thumbup:

And there was no info about available colours so far, but the guy told me there might be others than matte black. I saw No. 50000 rolling out and it was that new red. Just beautiful!

Does sound a bit overkill to do twin-turbo... A twin-scroll turbo might be more suitable, and more possible.

Well the VAG group have a 1.4 twin charged engine. Using a super charger and turbo charger so who knows what is possible :grin: Lets see what they can do and then spank the backside off of it when it arrives ;)

I THINK .............You are all being very Romantic about this RCZ-R which is all fine and dandy, but c'mon in the real world :crazy: WHAT'S the premium going to be over the 200gt £26,000 :eusa-think: £8-9 grand EASILY For a over excited 1.6 turbo mini engine/ds3 so £35,000 roughly speaking.... :eusa-think: :eusa-think: Now in that price bracket comes "A different mind set" Likey A porsche Boxster £37,000 265 bhp same as the RCZ-R bhp but that is end of the comparison= Boxster so much lighter 0-60 5.8 SEC............no need to say nowt else in that comparison

Its Madness to even contemplate buying this car :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: IF it Appears that is :thumbdown: no wonder the French car industry is almost Bankrupt firing the rcz way out its league with this RCZ-R, better still it would move quicker firing it oot a cannon :lol: :lol:

Reboot.... Why not give us 180 BHP AND 220 BHP for the rcz respectively speaking and leave the RCZ-R fairy tale where it belongs

I heard its going to be between 36-38k and I don't like the Matt black and copper now!

I was going to wait but decided to make my own version with a Diesel engine! It's not worth the extra cash!

Well the Renault F1 cars of the early 90's managed to squeeze 1500 BHP out of a 1,500cc engine, so I suppose 260BHP is not beyond the realms of possiblty.

Its new 1.6-litre THP 260bhp engine will make it the most powerful production model in Peugeot's history. A specific power of more than 160bhp/litre, among the highest in the world for a production vehicle, and CO2 emissions of approximately 155g/km, positions it in a range of new high efficiency.

It'll be interesting to see how they manage to squeeze 260bhp out of the 1.6!

As much as that for a bit of bling and a little more bhp !, never worth it

256 BHP/260 PS is very obtainable :thumbup: ford got 125bhp from a 1.0 litre engine.BHP is not the debate its the Viabilty of the RCZ-R that's the point/Price

I am at 252 BHP and still got to do Intercooler etc. ;)

The only limiting factor after that is the turbo, it is a little one :(

True remember the Renault 5 turbo only a 1.4 but what power from an upgraded turbo you could achieve
