2011 Peugeot RCZ Video Review

The 2+2 sports coupe segment is one of the most competitive in the auto industry. In the corner of the rings are heavyweights such as the Audi TT and Porsche Carrera, all the way up to cars with undisputed championships belts such as the Ferrari FF. However, a new fighter has emerged from Continental Europe in the form of the Peugeot RCZ.

The famous Pug lion is now surrounded by letters, not numbers, and certainly seems to have the styling to boot. With a sleek and low chrome-insert grille all the way around the derriere to the double-bubble roof and twin sports exhaust, from appearances alone it's clear that Peugeot have come out all guns blazing in an attempt to shake up the TT-dominated market. And at £5,000 less than the TT with a starting price of only £21,210 on the road, does this French manufacturer have a fighting chance?

To find out, we took the RCZ on a test drive through Chobham Common to see whether the top of the range GT THP 200 model, a 1.6l petrol with 200 horsepower to boot, has the power, punch and efficiency that we've come to expect from ze Germans.
