 | Peugeot’s 207 has dominated the Intercontinental
Rally Challenge for the last three years, whether on the gravel roads
of Scotland or the tarmac of San Remo.
To recognise this achievement and that of Kris Meeke in
winning the 2009 IRC drivers’ title, Peugeot has created the Special
Edition 207 S16, based on the 207 Sport 1.6 VTi 3dr, and only 250
examples of this car will be produced.
The S16 adds to the already comprehensive standard
equipment of the 207 sport model: Bianca White exterior body colour,
full 207 RC Cup body-kit comprising front and rear spoilers, side
skirts and a pseudo rear diffuser, 17” Hockenheim Alloy Wheels, SP
Sports mesh grille, tinted rear windows from the 207 GTi model, and
special interior badge signed by Kris Meeke |
Optional free of charge vinyl rally graphics which mimic
those found on Kris Meeke’s IRC winning 207 S2000 rally car for the fan
who wants the ultimate lookalike.
The 207 S16 benefits from over £1,200 worth of additional specification
compared to a standard Sport model and is priced at £14,695. To further
enhance the appeal of the 207 S16 an optional leather interior is also
available priced at £684.21. It is available in black with either black
or silver Grey stitching.
The all-new Kia Sportage will show a dramatic shift in design direction
when it makes its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show on 2 March.
Embodying Kia's new visual dynamism, all-new Sportage is a fresh, bold,
athletic and sporty design that blends the key features of an SUV - the
commanding driving position, heightened sense of security and raised
ground clearance - in a sleek and urban-friendly design.
Longer, lower and wider than the previous generation model, all-new
Sportage will offer more space for people and cargo, with improved ride
quality thanks to a longer wheelbase. | | | |  | Superchips Ltd, the long established performance
