The New Peugeot E-208 GTi Is Ready to Order at Struans Perth
Peugeot has just reignited one of the most legendary badges in hot hatch history — and for the first time, it's gone fully electric. The all-new Peugeot E-208 GTi is now available to order at Struans Perth, bringing four decades of GTi heritage into a new era of zero-emission performance. If you've been waiting for an electric hot hatch that actually feels like a GTi, this is it.
A New Legend Is Born
The E-208 GTi sits at the very top of the 208 range as the most powerful, most sporty and most exclusive version Peugeot has ever built. It's engineered by Peugeot Sport and styled by Peugeot Design, and it carries the same DNA that made the original 205 GTi and every GTi since a byword for driving pleasure — just reinterpreted for the electric age.
Serious Performance, Zero Compromise
At the heart of the E-208 GTi is a 281 PS electric motor — that's 125 PS more than the standard E-208 — producing 345 Nm of torque with instant, lag-free delivery. The numbers speak for themselves:
- 0-62 mph in just 5.5 seconds
- Top speed of 112 mph
- 1000m standing start in 25.8 seconds
- Weight-to-power ratio of just 7.4 kg/kW
Compared directly against its closest rivals, the Alpine A290 and MINI JCW E, the E-208 GTi comes out on top for power output, weight-to-power ratio, 0-62 mph time and standing start performance — genuinely best in its segment.
Built for the Corners, Not Just a Straight Line
Peugeot Sport hasn't just dropped a bigger motor into a 208 and called it a day. The E-208 GTi rides on a high-performance chassis that's been lowered by 25mm compared to the standard E-208, with a 31mm rear anti-roll bar and a significantly widened track (+56mm at the front, +28mm at the rear) for genuinely sharper, more agile handling.
A mechanical front limited-slip differential — something neither the Alpine A290 nor the MINI JCW E offers, both relying on electronic systems instead — helps put all that power down through the corners with real precision. Stopping power comes from high-performance Alcon brakes with 355mm front discs and specific 4-piston fixed calipers, so the braking matches the performance on offer.
Standard-fit Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres wrap 18" 'BELCHAMP' GTi diamond-cut alloy wheels, with a no-cost option of Hankook Ventus S1 Evo3 tyres for drivers who want to prioritise range.
Range and Charging
Despite the performance focus, the E-208 GTi doesn't skimp on usability. Its 51kWh lithium-ion battery delivers up to 219 miles of WLTP range on the standard Michelin tyres, rising to 233 miles with the no-cost Hankook tyre option.
Charging is quick and convenient too. Plug into a 7.4kW home wallbox and you'll be fully charged in around 4 hours 40 minutes, while a 100kW public rapid charger will take you from 20% to 80% in as little as 27 minutes.
Unmistakably GTi, Inside and Out
Every GTi has to look and feel the part, and the E-208 GTi delivers on both fronts. Exterior highlights include a distinctive grille with Nera Black hot stamping and red edging, a black diamond roof, red-circled GTi emblem, headlamps with red accents, front brake calipers painted red with the 'Peugeot Sport' signature, a new body-coloured lower spoiler, widened claddings with red edging, and a sport lower skirt with LED fog lights. It's available in seven paint finishes, including the striking Elixir Red premium colour alongside Okenite White, Miramar Blue, Agueda Yellow, Cumulus Grey, Selenium Grey and Nera Black.
Step inside and the GTi treatment continues with new Sport seats trimmed in Alcantara-effect GTi upholstery, red seatbelts, red stitching on the armrests and dashboard, red cabin carpet and floor mats, a new steering wheel with Alcantara and a red-accented Peugeot Shield, aluminium pedals, ambient lighting through the door trim, and '208 GTi' signature badging on the front door sills. Peugeot's latest digital cockpit also gets a bespoke graphic and colour theme exclusive to the GTi.
Loaded as Standard
Even before you factor in the GTi-specific upgrades, the E-208 GTi comes generously equipped, including:
- Peugeot Open & Go keyless entry and start
- Full LED headlights with Peugeot SmartBeam Assist
- Connected 3D Navigation with TomTom live traffic and speed camera updates (4 years)
- Blind spot monitoring
- HD front and rear parking cameras
- Smartphone wireless charger
- Adaptive cruise control with Stop & Go
- Lane position assist
- Active safety braking (AEB S3)
And because it's a fully electric Peugeot, it comes with up to 8 years / 100,000 miles of Peugeot Care as standard — the same level of cover and connected services as the rest of the Peugeot electric range.
Pricing
The New Peugeot E-208 GTi is priced from £34,995 MRRP (OTR).
