The Peugeot 308 R Hybrid derives its power from a four-cylinder petrol engine coupled with two electric motors. The 1.6-liter THP engine is boosted by electric motors generating 115 PS each.
According to Peugeot, the 308 R Hybrid is a family hatchback with a combined output of 500 PS and 730 Nm of torque. That is supercar levels of performance thanks to a clever and potent plug-in hybrid powertrain.
The super-hatch can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 4.0 sec while top speed peaks out at 250 km/h and in the process emits just 70 g/km of CO2. Furthermore, the car comes with four driving modes including a “Hot Lap” mode which shuffles the power between the front and rear axles to provide optimum grip at all times.
