In response to the stinging criticism aimed at its 150bhp 207 GT, Peugeot is upping the ante in the fast supermini market and launching a 210bhp version of its new hot hatchback, the 207 GTi. The fiercer version of the 207 GTi will appear at next month’s Geneva motor show. It will use the BMW-PSA derived 1.6-litre engine, but running enough boost to endow it with 210bhp - more power than Renault's Clio 197 and Vauxhall's new Corsa VXR, and the likely output of Mini's second-generation Cooper S Works, which is yet to be announced.The faster GTi will also get completely revised suspension to suit the increased power, and a particularly impressive pair of front seats, report insiders. The company is also planning a range of aftermarket suspension tuning kits for the GTi.
