Its expressive and innovative style, exclusive interior, dynamic and environmentally-friendly engines and the driving enjoyment it produces project the Peugeot brand, buoyed by 200 years of history, into a future that promises more emotion than ever. The Peugeot RCZ, a sporty and compact 2+2 Coupé, is designed to become an exclusive vehicle, something special, exuding a real air of excitement: • its name, RCZ, symbolises its exclusive position in relation to the Peugeot range: it is the specialist car not to use the numbering system with a central- or double-zero; • illustrating the Marque’s “new identity”, the RCZ displays on its body the new, redesigned Lion. The RCZ is aimed at the modern customer, particularly demanding and well informed when it comes to cars, who looks to stand out… and is ready to succumb to automotive temptation... http://www.peugeot.com/en/news/2010/3/16/peugeot-rcz-exclusive-emotion.aspx sophie.cassar Tue, 16 Mar 2010 15:00:00 GMT http://peugeotcom.peugeot01.web.vm.4ddigital.co.uk/16310.aspx For the third year running, Team Peugeot Total will be travelling to the United States to use the punishing 12 Hours of Sebring as part of its preparations for its main objective in 2010: a repeat of last June's win in the Le Mans 24 Hours. The American classic provided an exciting, drama-packed show in 2009 when the Peugeots and Audis were never split by more than a handful of seconds. With three hours remaining, the N°8 908 HDi FAP was challenging hard for the lead when it was forced to pit after picking up a slow puncture. When the chequered flag came down, it missed out onfirst place by a mere 22 seconds… after 12 hours of racing! This year, Audis has chosen not to attend the event, but the new regulations promise to make the petrol – powered cars– including the Aston Martins – a far more competitive threat. Peugeot Sport's Technical Director Bruno Famin recalls that Team Peugeot Total's mission in Sebring will above all be of a technicalnature: "Contesting the 12 Hours of Sebring has three major advantages for us. To begin with, the temperature is likely to be between 25 and 30°C, which is very similar to what we can expect at Le Mans in June. Sebring serves as first class training, too, with regard to race strategy. [...] Sebring provides us with an opportunity to explore the limits of certain mechanical components. [...] If what we see calls for modifications, we will have sufficient time to make amends before Le Mans… where we have no intention of taking any risks at all!" http://www.peugeot.com/en/news/2010/3/11/12-hours-of-sebring--peugeot-on-the-le-mans-trail.aspx sophie.cassar Thu, 11 Mar 2010 11:18:00 GMT http://peugeotcom.peugeot01.web.vm.4ddigital.co.uk/16285.aspx HOGGAR demonstrates Peugeot’s ambition for internationalisation and confirms the acceleration of the Marque’s strategy.Designed in Brazil for the Brazilian market, this pick-up is perfectly adapted to the local clientele’s expectations.

Peugeot Sport, official suppliers of driving excitement. Like Peugeot, Peugeot Sport is on the offensive. As it prepares for the future by building on its recent successes, not only does Peugeot Sport serve as a shop window for the brand, both technologically and in terms of image, but it also mirrors the latter's new corporate identity, which puts movement and motoring enjoyment at the heart of its strategy. 2009 was a highly successful year in motor sport terms: topping the bill was a one-two finish in the Le Mans 24 Hours, a clean sweep of the podium places for the 207 Super 2000 in the Rallye Monte-Carlo, as well as third consecutive Manufacturers' and Drivers’ titles in the Intercontinental Rally Challenge, thanks to the efforts of several Peugeot subsidiaries, not forgetting the ongoing tradition of individual event wins and national titles achieved by private entrants. All this is the result of the spirit of those competitors, a spirit which must continue in 2010 in the hunt for further success and excitement. 2010 endurance racing : targeting another win at Le Mans. Riding high on the back of last year's one-two finish, Peugeot Sport is aiming to do it again in 2010. In the fourth and final year of the 908 HDi FAP’s career, Team Peugeot Total has pressed on with its development, getting down to work on the very next day after that historic win, striving to squeeze even more improvements out of the car. http://www.peugeot.com/en/news/2010/2/23/2010---a-year-of-consolidation.aspx sophie.cassar Tue, 23 Feb 2010 14:41:00 GMT http://peugeotcom.peugeot01.web.vm.4ddigital.co.uk/16214.aspx Peugeot has become one of the partners for the 8th edition of the Electronic Sports World Cup.
