By all accounts the Peuegot 208 GTi is a very fine car. It brings Peugeot back into the hot hatch market with genuine credibility. The limited edition 30th anniversary model takes this to a new level, while reminding us of the masterful 205 GTi.
Then this video comes along and f@#ks it all up.

Liam this was so much fun! I’m surprised you didn’t like it!
Seems legit.
that was cool, I would have like te 205 meet up and the girl meet up and say that what they said.
First 10 seconds with the 205 were cool….the rest was cheesy crap!
chick was not hot enough lol car was better looking
… that was cool, I’m revoking your sense of humour and fun for a week. Get to bed.
Haha! Thanks Ferris.
they butchered a classic! i guess its easier to edit in a crappy CG than re-shoot it with real cars doing real stunts!
It kinda looks like they made that using an iPhone and iMovie. A little cheezy, but still..

It’s ok man, just a bit of fun. I think everyone realises it’s BS CGI, but hey they aren’t trying to really hide it. Although how cool would it have been if they could of made it handle close to that on the snow with some snow spikes (without the barrel rolls of course lol).
I think that 30th Aniv 208 GTi will be a big surprise and shock a few people when they do comparison on against the rest of the competition. Sure it won’t be cheap, but it will probably be the pick of the bunch when it comes to speed, braking and dynamics. I just hope they allow the program of the ESC to be totally switched off!
