2021 Peugeot 508 PSE

Peugeot Sport Engineered presents a new type of performance - building electrified machines with the power to create new sensations and driving experiences, starting with a high performance 508 combining four-wheel drive (4WD) and plug-in hybrid electric technology.

Peugeot is paving the way for a new era in which the kilowatt is king, providing unprecedented power and torque for Peugeot production vehicles. Peugeot is guided by its heritage, passion and expertise, with a team of engineers and test drivers continually learning to master new technologies and conquer new territories.

PEUGEOT SPORT INSIDE

With the launch of two new high-performance versions of the new Peugeot 508 Fastback and SW, Peugeot is unveiling the first model of its Peugeot Sport Engineered division. Delivering the perfect combination of sportiness and technology, Peugeot is combining renewed performance with responsible performance to create Neo-Performance.

The signature of this new family, with three Kryptonite claws, refers to Peugeot SPORT's new identity, to the light signatures of the production models, and draws inspiration from the brand's heritage with rear lights inspired by the Peugeot 504 Coupé.

New 508 Peugeot Sport Engineered is a technological showcase and truly represents the expertise of the Peugeot SPORT engineers who have proven their ability time and again in international competitions - such as the World Rally Championship, DAKAR, Pikes Peak and World Endurance Championship - and with the development of the 208 FE concept in 2013 (46g/km CO2, 0-62mph in 8.2s) and the 308 R Hybrid in 2015 (500hp, 720Nm, 0-62mph in 4.0s).

Coinciding with the launch of the new performance division, Peugeot is announcing its return to the World Endurance Championship in the Le Mans Hypercar category from 2022.

PEUGEOT SPORT PERFORMANCE

The new 508 Peugeot Sport Engineered is the most powerful production car ever built by Peugeot.

The powertrain produces 360hp and 520Nm of torque by combining an internal combustion engine and electrical energy. This combination makes it possible to achieve almost instantaneous responses and acceleration.

HIGH EFFICIENCY

The new 508 Peugeot Sport Engineered produces 360hp thanks to the power of its combustion engine combined with its two electric motors, positioned at the front and rear. The four-wheel drive transmission ensures optimum traction in all weather conditions.

Equipment installation solutions are available directly from Peugeot Retailers in partnership with PodPoint. The entire eco-system dedicated to Peugeot's electrified models is available via the MyPeugeot® and Free2Move Services applications.

New 508 Peugeot Sport Engineered has the same interior and boot volumes (above the floor) as the internal combustion versions thanks to the smart layout of the electric motors and battery.

The Peugeot Sport Engineered division has created a new type of virtuous performance: Neo-Performance. It is the perfect blend of sportiness and technology with low CO2 emissions: this high-performance version is approved according to the WLTP protocol at 46g/km - the equivalent of 139mpg fuel consumption.

FULL SENSATION EXPERIENCE

New 508 Peugeot Sport Engineered embodies the very spirit of Peugeot's road handling know-how. The adjustments to its chassis have been fine-tuned by Peugeot SPORT engineers for heightened driving pleasure and include a specially-tuned steering set-up.

In addition to its four-wheel drive and for the highest level of safety, new 508 Peugeot Sport Engineered comes with all the driving aids available in the Peugeot 508 range, including: Night Vision, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go function, Lane Departure Warning System and Automatic Emergency Braking.

The Peugeot i-Cockpit® comes into its own here with a compact steering wheel featuring three Kryptonite claws, distinctive elements of the Peugeot Sport Engineered division, and a 100% digital Head-Up Display. The Peugeot i-Cockpit® graphic animations and the central 10-inch HD capacitive touchscreen have adopted the division's signature for an even more exclusive feel.

The upholstery of the "wrap-around" seats also has a distinctive look with a mix of Mistral Nappa Leather and Alcantara©, whilst the passenger compartment is decorated with double Tramontane Grey and Kryptonite stitching. The FOCAL® Hi-Fi audio system is supplied as standard, as are heat and massage functions on the driver's seat.
