标致西班牙分部近日在其推特账户上发布了308GTI高性能掀背车图片。与预期的一样，GTI改款车外观改款与标准版车型一样。只有铁杆车迷才能发现新车改款之处。主要改款体现在车头部分，格栅上下两部分图案改变，造型略微不同的进气口变得更大，在它的上面采用了镀铬装饰。该车的车身采用蓝色和黑色双色组合，车尾轻度改款并配备LED尾灯组，或许后保险杠也进行了小改款。与标准308相比，新车最大变化是搭载了全新或升级版引擎，据传，新引擎功率将提升至216千瓦/290马力，扭矩350牛米，高于现行版的200千瓦/270马力和330牛米。
Peugeot 308 GTI Facelift Photo 'Accidentally' Published
Peugeot took the wraps off the discreetly updated 308 compact hatchback and wagon earlier this month, but without revealing the spicy GTI derivative. This week, the company’s Spanish division uploaded an image of the hot hatch onto its Twitter account and took it down shortly after that.
As expected, the changes on the outside are in line with those of the regular 308 model, so only hardcore fans of the lion will be able to detect the novelties at a first glance. Most of them have occurred at the front where the pattern of the upper and lower grilles has been altered while the slightly different air vents now have a bigger piece of chrome trim on the upper area.
The blue and black color combo is also debuting with the mid-cycle refresh, while at the back we are expecting to find some modest revisions to the LED taillights and perhaps a nip and tuck for the bumper, but nothing to write home about.
In the case of the standard 308, the biggest news were about the all-new or updated engines, so it will be interesting to see whether it’s going to be the same case with the GTI. Rumor has it the current turbocharged 1.6-liter gasoline engine with its 270 horsepower (200 kilowatts) and 243 pound-feet (330 Newton-meters) of torque will be massaged by Peugeot’s engineers to deliver as much as 290 hp (216 kW) and 258 lb-ft (350 Nm).
