Peugeot Spider 207

Races mark will be richer with one model and that is Spider 207, produced by PSA. Although its front size is the same as for its similar concept- 20 Cup, the new French creation is unique, by having 4 wheels instead of 3. Unlike 908 V12, it will be presented in other races, where the cost will be cheaply. That is the reason why this concept has many characteristics from all Peugeot models. Brake discs are from 407, direction system is a hybrid from 206 and 407, and the cooling system with the turbo propeller (EP6 DTS code) of 1.6 litres, with 16 valves, which develops 175 hp are from 207.
