Peugeot 308 GTI 2011 very low fuel consumption and CO2 emissions

The Peugeot 308 GTI vehicles that have been produced by the Peugeot Company, using the concept of environmentally friendly by offering a variety of advantages in terms of interior, exterior and features a carry.

Peugeot returns to the world of the Peugeot 308 GTI, with the launch of the Peugeot 308 GTi, a sporty sedan of a new era: good day to carry out day and environment. In the heart of the car's sporty nature of the all-new 1.6-liter THP 147 kW (200 hp), which was launched at the same time the Peugeot RCZ Coupe, a key factor in the overall efficiency of the Peugeot 308 GTi.
Combining a number of innovative technologies – THP (Twin-Scroll turbocharger and direct petrol injection), and VTi (variable valve lift and valve timing) – this engine, mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox, offers high levels of driveability.

Its maximum power of 147 kW is available from 5500 to 6800 rpm, combined with a constant maximum torque of 275 Nm between 1700 and 4500 rpm, the 308 GTi also offers particularly low fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The sound of the engine is also particularly distinctive during acceleration thanks to the adoption of Sound System technology.

The new 1.6 litre THP 147 kW (200 bhp) engine under the bonnet of the Peugeot 308 GTI and the RCZ sports coupé is efficient in every sense of the word: generous torque and power, very low fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, and fully compliant with the Euro 5 emission standard.
THP (Turbo-charged High-Pressure) with a Twin-Scroll turbocharger for performance and instantaneous response at very low engine speeds; direct petrol injection ensuring optimal fuel consumption;
VTi (Variable valve and Timing injection) with variable lift of the intake valves coupled with variable timing of the intake and exhaust camshafts, for reduced fuel consumption and CO2 emissions
The exhaust gas flow can accelerates the turbocharger turbine to a speed of 220,000 rpm. A pressure valve (waste gate) operates if the intake air pressure rises above a maximum boost pressure of 1.3 bars.

This system ensures remarkable engine responsiveness, since the turbo boost begins at 1000 rpm, enabling the engine to produce its maximum torque from just 1700 rpm. High-pressure direct injection, for optimal overall efficiency Direct petrol injection makes it possible to combine a high engine output with low fuel consumption. The high-pressure injectors spray fuel directly and laterally into the combustion chamber at a maximum pressure of 120 bars. The fuel, evenly distributed into the combustion chamber, allows improved combustion and therefore enhanced overall efficiency of the engine. This turbocharged petrol engine also benefits from a relatively high compression ratio of 10.5 :1.
