In-game description
"A quick model with tighter suspension that breaks the soft image of the 206."
In September 1998, the Peugeot 206 debuted at the Paris Salon as the successor to Peugeot's best selling-vehicle, the 205. Peugeot produced many variations of their next generation high volume seller with the S16 hot hatch at the top of the list. Other vehicles included the 4-seater coupe cabriolet CC, the wagon model SW, and the next generation sports car, the RC.
The S16 hot hatch looks like a normal 206, but the very slightly enlarged fenders allow for wider tires. The power unit is a 2.0L DOHC inline-4, producing 138 BHP @ 5800 rpm, and a maximum torque of 135.2 lb-ft @ 4000 rpm; this is combined with a 6-speed MT. The suspension and chassis were tuned for sports and the car possessed exciting handling characteristics, quite the opposite of its soft image.
The main feature of the CC, the 4-seater coupe cabriolet, is its retractable metal hard top which allowed the car to be enjoyed as either a coupe of a cabriolet with the touch of a button. In 2002, it received the same 2.0L engine as the S16, allowing for the same high maneuverability to be enjoyed in the open air.
The SW was a full featured model that allowed you to enjoy the style of the 206 and still have the cargo capacity of a wagon. Choosing the optional 2.0L engine provided the same satisfying sporty feeling of the S16.
In 2003, Peugeot added the RC, which employed a tuned 2.0L DOHC inline-4 version of the S16 engine. The improved engine output was 175 BHP @ 7000 rpm and a maximum torque of 148.9 lb-ft @ 4750 rpm. Fat 205/40R17 tires were included and the chassis was hardened to produced the fastest genuine hot hatch of the 206 series.
