Aha 1st pics of the rather powerful new 308 top model.

Proper power for a the efficient 1.6t motor; 184kw or 200kw.

I dont understand the weird colour scheme though

Comparison (looks) of old 308 GTi vs new model.

Old model was rather lukewarm; new one appears rather hot.

Additionally older model resale took a proper knock & they go for very keen prices.





Smart details

I wonder why a 1.6 turbo instead of a 2.0 turbo?

Don't like the red and black paint job.

Very nice. Dual exhausts, one on either side looks best.

They're all going in that direction. I don't mind.

Could be useful. The cops won't know if they're chasing a red car or a black one

No hint of station wagon so no, I see no A3 DNA here.
