This is a Peugeot 508 PSE or Peugeot Sport Engineered. Debuting at the Geneva Motor Show as a 400-horsepower concept car, it materializes in a street car that is also produced in two different bodies. So also as universal. The power saturation of the car is really bold. The 1.6-liter petrol turbocharged engine alone already develops 200 horsepower. It is connected to two electric motors, each with at least 80 kilowatts or well over 100 horsepower. The 508 PSE is the most powerful street model Peugeot has ever produced.
“Let’s take the brakes. PSE is written on them, the manufacturer is the British company Alcon, it is as well known in its environment as Brembo, because it supplies brake mechanisms for supercars, hypercars and racing cars, ”says Normunds Avotiņš.
The PSE brake pads are the same as the large Jaguar coupes, while the composite brake discs with a separate hub are original.
“The Peugeot 508 PSE is the only Peugeot I know on the street that has had to limit the maximum speed to 250 km / h, because in reality it goes faster.”
Everyday driving makes more sense from acceleration – 5.2 seconds to a hundred.
“It simply came to our notice then. We are currently an electric car and will be another 18 km. Well, don’t forget that 508 PSE additives also have a plug-in hybrid. We spend 2 hours from Wallbox and drive 40 kilometers with electricity alone! Interestingly, the super 508 doesn’t have any extras. Everything is already included in the basic set. The only thing you can buy here is a glass hatch. ”
Let’s discover the secret – in fact, the fastest Peugeot has only 320 horsepower. Full power is only available in Sport mode. And there is also 4WD.
“Are you upset that the front wheels are spooling? All you have to do is turn on 4WD and this side effect will be removed by hand! ”
And we discovered something that Peugeot doesn’t mention in its booklets.
“The car has an incredibly small turning radius! It is nominally a front-wheel drive car! In addition, with such tires, but literally spins on the spot! ”
Verdict
Yes, that’s something. Peugeot has come out with an impressive and crazy wagon. The timing of the results must be told by the department with a long, as yet unknown name and a very laconic logo. If a car racing division is involved in the development of a street sports car, then the result gets a completely different pull, quality and, yes, also a price. Peugeot now has its own S4.
