As a rested, the dealer-made Rallye relies on the 208 156 THP Feline model high-powered by a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder fuel engine churning out 154hp (156PS) while tipping the scales at a comparatively low 1,090kg (2,403 lbs).
Among different changes, the Rallye package involves the removal of the soundproofing, the rear headrests and center armrests, while the prototype was finished in white, as were the alloy wheels, with the final touch coming back from the tri-color athletics stripes and decals on the car's profile and hood.
In the months that passed, Beaugé and his team received a positive response to the
208 Rallye, in order that they determined to supply the package as a separate model.
Beaugé said the first 2 examples are finished and are already been spoken for with more to come.
"We’ve received many mails and phone calls from France and even from European nation, and that we can continue to propose our “Rallye Kit” on the THP 155 208," he said. "Next month, we are going to create a black 208 Rallye…"
As for Peugeot itself, Beaugé tells US what the French car maker thought of Clara Automobile's initiative: "You can most likely wish to grasp what Peugeot worries this unofficial 208 RALLYE. They told US the automobile was fabulous and said “why not?” about a jazzy version placed right beneath the GTi."
If you scroll down, you'll realize a group of pictures of the first 2 208 Rallye Editions before they left the saleroom at the side of a video of the automobile riding alongside its predecessors, the 205 and 106 Rallye.
