The performance figures speak for themselves. Acceleration from 0 to 100km/h, takes the petrol 308 GT just 7,5 seconds.
The four-cylinder 1.6-litre THP 205 Stop&Start engine is specified with a 6-speed manual gearbox to make the most of its 285Nm of torque, available between 1,750 and 4,500rpm. This high level of performance is combined with well controlled CO2 emissions and fuel consumption, from just 130g/km and 5.6 l/100km (50.4mpg).
To achieve these results, this 1,598 cc four-cylinder engine combines:
- a Twin-Scroll turbocharger, for performance and instant response from a very low engine speed;
- direct fuel injection assuring optimum combustion efficiency;
- variable valve lift on inlet, coupled with variable valve timing on both inlet and exhaust (VTi technology, Variable valve and Timing injection);
- Stop&Start to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, as well as improving general comfort in urban driving.
The New 308 range is about to get even better, with both the 308 and 308 SW - already winners of Car of the Year 2014 - now available in a vibrant GT version designed to delight. Through an assertive sports style and striking, dynamic performance, the 308 GT delivers an exhilarating driving experience underpinned by absolute quality.
LED lighting helps create an instantly recognisable front face and includes exclusive direction indicators, positioned just above the air intakes and scrolling outwards, in keeping with the vehicle's technical excellence.
Once inside, you'll be struck by an impressive, top-quality cabin that wears its sporting heritage with pride. Here, the New 308 GT really excels, combining aluminium pedals, stainless steel door sills and Anthracite-coloured roof headliner and trim parts. The red stitching on the upholstery, dashboard, door panels and gear lever convey style, with floor mats adding a final touch of GT flair. Each detail has been carefully crafted and finished, enhancing and enriching your driving experience.

Both engines include Stop & Start technology and comply with current Euro 6 standards.
