Peugeot 207 RC

Among the sports cars with the size and power, the Peugeot 207 RC is significant because it has a low price, easy to drive at a rapid pace and consumes little. It has a gasoline engine of 174 hp, with direct injection.

As a sport, its stability is high, your tact and facilitates driving their benefits fall short of its power. It just swings, falls very well in curves and hardly has reactions that put the driver in distress. As a car for daily use or for travel, the main drawback is noise, is nothing more uncomfortable suspension that other models of this type, although it is in absolute terms.

It's bodywork with the sale of three doors, € 22,160, the only model of its size and power that costs less is the Seat Ibiza Cupra. The price of Peugeot 207 RC is very similar to that of a Renault Clio Sport or a Volkswagen Polo GTI. A Mini Cooper S, which has the same engine that the Peugeot 207 RC, is much more expensive and has less equipment series.

One alternative to less powerful is the Peugeot 207 RC - 207 1.6 THP 150 hp, which costs € 2,910 less. Ratio models between 3.6 and 4.2 m, with petrol engine from 150 to 200 hp, sorted by price.

Dynamically, there is a very big difference between the Peugeot 207 RC and its predecessor, the 206 RC. The Peugeot 207 RC is easier to drive and also is able to move more quickly by a slow road.

There will be aimed at those who do not take as little as possible in a stretch of mountains, but enjoy a more direct relationship between actions and reactions of the driver of the car. For these individuals, the result which gave the 206 RC (and, previously, the 205 GTI) was more appropriate.

Among the cars that are in the market, a Corsa OPC or a Clio Sport respond with greater changes in trajectory that the Peugeot 207 RC to a slowdown in curve. Neither, however, clearly surpass the Peugeot 207 RC on a road slow, partly due to good response from the engine of Peugeot 207 RC over about 2,500 rpm.

The benefits of CR 207 are to be expected from its weight and power. Except for those who valued extraordinarily accelerated in a straight or a speed limit, benefits are not a variable that may help to choose between any of these models.

Although the MINI is lighter (1,205 kg against 1,325), the only difference is not there. The answer was that the engine unit that tested the Cooper S (and which drove in the international filing) was much more powerful than the Peugeot 207 RC.

One disadvantage of the Peugeot 207 RC compared with the MINI and other models of this type are that only has five gears. In addition, developments of transmission are very inappropriate for this type of car is long on roads and slow roads in short fast.

Even with these developments, one of the positive aspects of the Peugeot 207 RC car as frequently is that consumes little, virtually any model that can also consumes more acceleration. According to data approved, spends less than any car of this kind unless the MINI Cooper S.

The driving position of the Peugeot 207 RC is generally satisfactory; does not have the drawbacks of driving position of a sports and yes some of their advantages. The seat has a very envelope, but some lateral support rather soft. The steering wheel and pedals are a normal car, not a sport; the steering wheel is big and with the pedals is difficult to tip heel.

With regard to a 207 GT, the RC has exclusive items of equipment: a spoiler placed on the apex between glass for glasses and roof (which gives a support of 25 kg to 200 km / h), an escape Dual output, the fund will darkened headlights and mirrors are in a light gray casing.

The body has the same length as other versions of the range (4,037 mm). Other measures, such as height or routes, it changed. The wheels are bearing serial measuring 205/45 R17 W, with Bridgestone tyres Potenza RE 050A and alloy wheels nine radios (called "Pitlane").

The front suspension of the Peugeot 207 RC has a more rigid union between the bottom of the hub and the lower triangle. The rear axle torque is 30 percent stiffer than the 207 engine with 150 hp. The shock absorbers and springs are specific to this release. The address remains cog with electrical assistance. It takes four disc brakes, front of 302 x 26 mm, rear massifs of 249 x 9 mm.

The Peugeot 207 RC has serial control stability, regulatory and speed limiter, lighting side (through the fog lamps), dual zone climate control and automated equipment for the wiper and the lighting of the lighthouses. The panoramic sunroof that is standard on the GT versions, is an option in the RC. They are also optional charger discs, the browser and JBL sound system (standard equipment and options).

The side supports are prominent, but wide and filled with soft foam; transferred and do not prevent occupants have some freedom of movement. In some cases, with some seats this way makes it more difficult to enter and exit the car, this does not happen in the Peugeot 207 RC.

The extent of adjustments of the steering wheel and the seat allows people of very different sizes are properly seated. The only drawback is that the headrests are too low for people higher and not sufficiently close to the head in any case.

The Peugeot 207 RC steering wheel seems too big for a sport of this kind. Actually, only differs from a leaflet in both normal bumps in the interior position "ten" (as analogy to clockwise). A steering wheel has vertical and longitudinal adjustment, which is above-normal in the highest position. All those who have led the Peugeot 207 RC have left the steering wheel in a position below the upper ceiling, where they hid part of the instrumentation.

The pedals are different from those of a normal 207, but neither do it would be best for a sport. The distance between the accelerator and brake is very difficult to maneuver the tip heel. Support for the left foot is firm and flat, but is rather small; applies to those who support the tip, not for any person who supports the plant.

Peugeot 207 RC

The instrumentation must thermometer water and oil; something normal models of a generation ago and it is increasingly rare today. However, there are some really thermometers that do not indicate temperature, but rather operate as a warning of cold engine and overheating. The thermometer Oil Peugeot 207 RC seems such. The needle is placed near the center (which marks 110 ° C) shortly after the start and hardly moves although conditions vary much movement.

The visibility around the car is good, for what is normal now. The side lighting system works well with the fog, is not as effective as the system that have motorized headlights, but the cost-benefit ratio may be better.

Although it has a striking decoration (neither inside nor outside), there are some details that distinguish it from other 207. The panels of the doors are partially covered in Alcantara, the wheel has two types of leather and the pedals are aluminum.

The Peugeot 207 RC instrumentation has a specific design and typography of this release. There are other decorative elements characteristic of this release or in the dashboard vents.

One peculiarity is that the Peugeot 207 RC is only approved for four occupants (only has four seat belts). The step towards the rear seats is less comfortable with these seats with other versions of 207.

Peugeot 207 RC

With a Peugeot 207 RC can enter into a curve so quickly or more than any model more agile, as the previous 206 RC. The agility, easily understood as a path to change is greater in a Corsa OPC or a Clio Sport that in an Peugeot 207 RC. This is because either of those two models is more sensitive to the deceleration in curve; 207 of these cars is not that easy in the lead with the accelerator.

Peugeot 207 RC

However, although less sensitive to the deceleration in curve, a Peugeot 207 RC has an answer at the wheel faster and more accurate than a Corsa OPC, for example. In the Corsa, between the turn of the steering wheel and changing trajectory there is a movement of bodywork in the Peugeot 207 RC is much lower. Be a suspension, wheels or by a combination of both, the pitching, rolling and who feel adrift in turn are lower in the Peugeot 207 RC in other models of this type.

Peugeot 207 RC

The counterpart is that, on a very irregular pavement, with Peugeot 207 RC is easier to lose track because it absorbs the worst potholes. With a 205 GTI, to curb strong for road potholes, sometimes gave the impression that it was possible to abandon the straight line before starting to turn the vehicle, only to think about it.

Peugeot 207 RC

With a 206 RC went something like, although the difference active safety in relation to the 205 GTI was formidable. A Peugeot 207 RC is a different car, which is enjoyed more when it is drawn becomes less predictable and lack improvise.

Their ability traction is good. By speeding up a slow curve, it shows that the steering wheel pulled inwards. It is also something that happens in the MINI Cooper S and it is difficult to avoid when a car has a front traction engine that makes so strong.

Peugeot 207 RC

With respect to any other 207, controlling stability of Peugeot 207 RC (Teves Mk60) has two differences. You can disconnect at any speed (when it does, it will also lose the functions of traction control). It also has a feature that makes some strength in the right direction, to help the driver to turn in the right direction where, for example, the wheels on one side curb on a sticky surface and the other side on a slippery. Peugeot calls this system 'SSP' (Steering Stability Program).

For the braking is good, whenever possible, the pressure on the pedal has to go unless more (much more pressure the faster the car goes). The power of the brakes falls short of what is desirable in a car of this type. Resistance to warming is something less than desirable, although more than enough to drive normally fast. At the touch of the brakes it would be either a little more mordant.

Peugeot 207 RC

Some really good brakes may be more decisive than a very powerful engine if it is going quickly by a mountain road. In fact, if we take the sport of this size with more than 160 hp, there is a difference in acceleration that is decisive in a mountain road.

Peugeot 207 RC

The only exception is the MINI Cooper S, which accelerates more clearly than other sports such and also have an answer much stronger engine to any regime. In other models, including the Peugeot 207 RC, may give the impression that there is no proper way (to leave some curve, for example, the second is short and third long).

Peugeot 207 RC

If it shows in the Peugeot 207 RC, in addition to the difference engine, is poorly chosen by the developments that are transmitted. Have five marches (the box is called BE4/5T) instead of six is part of the problem, but not everything. The first three are long marches is what the first note was only in town, because he is stopped from leaving. At second reaches 100 km / h in third, to 135 km / h, if those two marches were shorter-with the same jump between them-the car would be better cornering speeds.

Peugeot 207 RC

In a margin large enough speed to be representative (for example, from 80 to 120 kph), a difference in normal development does not affect the acceleration. In other words, the Peugeot 207 RC would not be faster with some shorter developments in the first three gears. The advantage of some developments shorter in this case is that the car would be easier to drive on a road where curves must be taken between 40 and 80 km / h.

Peugeot 207 RC

The curious thing is that the first marches are long and the latest are short. The maximum speed of Peugeot 207 RC is limited by development in fifth: 220 km / 6,615 rpm has (already in the red zone of the counter), when the regime of maximum power is 6,000 rpm.

Peugeot 207 RC

The effects of a short end are not excessively negative in this case. On the one hand, the engine noise is less noticeable than the rolling and aerodynamic, the Peugeot 207 RC is uncomfortable in a car travel by noise, but not by the noise of the engine. On the other hand, consumption is at a constant speed; over what would be a longer development, but is not a disadvantage because they spent little.
