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.

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:
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:
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:
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:
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
