SHANGHAI MOTOR SHOW: Peugeot Schools The Industry With A 493 HP 308 R HYbrid Hot Hatch

Peugeot has stormed into the Shanghai Motor Show with a brand new concept, the 308 R HYbrid. Developed by Peugeot’s in-house racing division, Peugeot Sport, the plug-in hybrid hatchback produces 493bhp from a 1.6-litre turbo and one electric motor on each axle, making the 308 R HYbrid four-wheel drive.

It’s loosely based around the 308 R Concept which was first showcased at the Paris Motor Show last year – a decision on whether to build it still hasn’t been made – but ups the game when it comes to performance.

I think they forgot to finish painting it, or else ran out of blue. Odd looking like that...

it can be as cool as it want to be. It's not like we're getting it.
