- Peugeot 308 introduces performance GT model
- Turbocharged petrol and diesel engines to power 308 GT
- GT to feature bespoke chassis, suspension and styling treatments
- More powerful 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol motor added to 308 hatch and touring models
- 308 range now complete with five model grades, five drivetrains, two transmissions and two body styles
Peugeot Australia has launched its all-new 308 GT models, featuring bespoke visual and dynamic upgrades, and two,
all-new turbocharged engines.
The GT Line has been designed and engineered for those that want access to greater power without compromising overall
comfort and practicality.
Buyers have the choice of a 151kW 1.6-litre petrol engine developing 285Nm, or a 133kW 2.0-litre diesel developing
400Nm.
Designed and engineered to offer greater power and dynamic abilities, the new GT model maintains many of the winning
qualities that saw the 308 awarded the 2014 European Car of the Year, including a featherweight 1,200kg kerb mass.
Both 308 GT models feature lower ride height at the front (7mm) and rear (10mm) over other 308 models. Spring and
damper rates for the 308 GT have also been stiffened by between 10 and 20 per cent, depending on drivetrain.
The 308 GT’s response to driver inputs has also been sharpened with firmer steering, sharper throttle mapping and, in
the case of the diesel drivetrain, sharper gear changes from the automatic transmission.
Both variants are also complimented by exclusive exterior and interior styling, as well as other features,
including:

Peugeot Australia, General Manager John Startari said the addition of 308 GT tops off a brilliant, innovative and
thrilling model range.
“The arrival of GT tops off an exciting five month roll-out of 308 for Australia – with the full complement of 308
models now available,” said Startari.
“The 308 GT adds further desirability to the Peugeot range and, with the existing models already surprising the
harshest of critics, the GT is only going to bolster the allure of the Peugeot 308 range.”
“The GT Line will give us the ability to offer a vehicle that offers visual and performance upgrades, while still
maintaining the comfort and practical features of vehicle that is driven daily,” said Startari.
Alongside the GT models the 308 range will also receive an all-new 1.6-litre, turbo-petrol drivetrain developing 110kW
and 240Nm.
The THP 150 drivetrain is a member of PSA’s e-THP drivetrain family and will be available on Allure and Allure Premium
models.
