New 508 PEUGEOT SPORT ENGINEERED Pioneering Performance Again

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

We are #peugeot SPORT ENGINEERED: PEUGEOT's high-performance division. We want to establish a new type of performance by building machines with electric power that creates new sensations and driving experiences.

We are paving the way for a new era in which the kilowatt is king and can provide unprecedented levels of power and torque for #peugeot series production.

We are not following any pre-defined path, nor any beaten track. We are guided by our heritage, our passion and our know-how.

We, pilots and engineers, the new pioneers, must learn to relearn. Reset the meter, master new technologies, conquer new territories.

With these high-performance versions of the #peugeot #508 sedan and SW, #peugeot is unveiling the first chapter in its #peugeot SPORT ENGINEERED label. The perfect alliance between sportiness and technology, #peugeot is reinventing the codes for renewed performance, a responsible performance: Neo-Performance. The signature of this new line with 3 Kryptonite claws refers to #peugeot SPORT's new identity, to the light signatures of the production models and is drawing inspiration from the brand's heritage with the rear lights from the #peugeot 504 Coupé.

508 #peugeot SPORT ENGINEERED is an absolute technological showcase and is the quintessential expression of the expertise of the #peugeot SPORT engineers. They have proven themselves time and time again:

  • in international competitions such as the WRC (World Rally Championship), DAKAR, Pikes Peak or the WEC (Word Endurance

Championship),

  • with the development of the 208 FE concept in 2013 (46 g CO2/km - 0/100 in 8.2s) and the 308 R HYbrid in 2015 (500 bhp - 720 Nm - 0/100 in 4.0s).

At the same time as the launch of this label, #peugeot is announcing its return to the World Endurance Championship (WEC) in the LMH (Le Mans Hypercar) queen category from 2022.

PEUGEOT SPORT PERFORMANCE

508 #peugeot SPORT ENGINEERED is the most powerful production car ever built by #peugeot.

The powertrain can reach 360 hp and 520 Nm of torque by astutely combining thermal and electrical energy. This combination makes it possible to achieve almost instantaneous levels of responsiveness. This level of performance is unprecedented for the brand:

  • 0 to 100 km/h in 5.2s,
  • 1000 m DA in 24.5s,

  • 80 to 120 km/h in 3s,
  • maximum speed of 250 km/h (electronically controlled).

Driving pleasure is at the very heart of PEUGEOT's DNA, which is why the #peugeot SPORT engineers have adapted the chassis of the #peugeot #508 to achieve a very high quality comfort to behaviour compromise:

  • Optimising variable 3-mode shock absorption (Comfort/Hybrid/Sport),
  • lowered seat plate, tracks widened by 24 mm at the front and 12 mm at the rear,

380 mm diameter front brake discs and fixed four-piston callipers,  20-inch diameter rims fitted with Michelin© Pilot Sport 4S tyres.

The #508 #peugeot SPORT ENGINEERED can reach 360 hp thanks to the power of its combustion engine combined with its two electric motors, front and rear. The 4-wheel drive transmission ensures optimum traction in all weather conditions.

Five driving modes are available directly via the mode selector on the centre console:

  • Electric: for 100% electric driving in total silence, with a range of 42 km under the WLTP protocol, which gives you access to the #green zones in urban areas and provides high-rev acceleration with the immediate responsiveness of the electric engines from 0 km/h to 140 km/h.
  • Comfort: Hybrid mode with softened suspensions for "high comfort" driving,
  • Hybrid: mode that automatically selects combustion or electric power depending on the circumstances for more optimised consumption,
  • Sport: maximum power of 360 hp for ultimate pleasure! This mode also affects steering, shock absorption, accelerator pedal mapping and digital engine colouring. The combustion engine ensures that the battery is charged for maximum power at all times.
  • 4WD: maximum traction for slippery grip situations.

As for the hybrid motor, the #508 #peugeot SPORT ENGINEERED has benefited from PEUGEOT's expertise with the recent launches of the #peugeot 3008 HYBRID/HYBRID4 and #peugeot #508 HYBRID alongside the expertise at #peugeot SPORT with its experience of hybridization.

Recharging modes are flexible and adapted to each daily situation:

  • in less than 7 hours on a standard domestic socket,
  • in 4 hours on a 16 amp reinforced plug,

Equipment installation solutions are available directly from our dealers. The entire eco-system dedicated to PEUGEOT's electrified models is available via the MyPeugeot® and Free2Move Services applications.

508 #peugeot SPORT ENGINEERED has the same interior and boot volumes (above the floor) as the internal combustion versions thanks to the smart layout of the electric motors and battery.

The #peugeot SPORT ENGINEERED label has created a new type of virtuous performance: Neo-Performance. It is the perfect union of sportiness and technology with record CO2 emissions per km: this highperformance version is approved according to the WLTP protocol at 46 g CO2/km, the equivalent of 2.03 L/100 fuel consumption!

508 #peugeot SPORT ENGINEERED embodies the very spirit of PEUGEOT's road handling know-how. The adjustments to its chassis are fine-tuned here by #peugeot SPORT engineers for ever greater driving pleasure. Cornering manoeuvres are precise thanks to ultimate steer tuning
