BOTTLED IT!: Top 5 Worst GTis

A Bottled It! special. The five worst Hot Hatches ever made!

Focus RS is a long-awaited Fast Ford

Ford fanatics will rejoice themselves. The latest Fast Ford...the Focus RS. 

Peugeot 208 R gets the go ahead

PEUGEOT have confirmed that they will be making a more extreme 208. Sitting above the GTi. That might explain on why some found the GTi (pictured) rather tame or too understated for their liking.

For those who'd like their curry a bit spicier and with a bit of a kick to it. Peugeot are adding some chillies to the recipe.

Peugeot's CEO, Maxime Picat has confirmed that the 208 R has been given the green light. He said: "Above the 208 GTI, we will soon have an even sportier 208 R, which is a good example of what we would like to add to top the 308 range".

The 208 R is expected to be lighter and more powerful than the GTi that it's likely to be based on. Not only to increase performance, but also to emphasise on handling prowess. Something that fast Pugs of old were known and loved for.

After the 308 R concept, the RCZ R, and now the 208 getting the rough edge with the R treatment. It's definitely something for Peugeot fans to get excited about.

GTi'm back for Peugeot?

Could the new 208 GTi be the spiritual successor that's been long awaited for the legendary 205 GTi? Should we be excited? Or should we be cynical?

UNSUNG HEROES: Peugeot 309 GTi

It was in the shadow of the 205 GTi when new. Today, it's very much the same with other fast Pugs. But that's no reason to overlook the 309 GTi.

Has Peugeot lost the plot on ditching its Hot Hatches? Or is it right for them to pull the plug from recent efforts?
