PEUGEOT RCZ, the instant classic

When we think of an instant classic, we all think of the Peugeot RCZ. Although it was only sold for five years (2010–2015), it has left its mark on car enthusiasts.

The Peugeot RCZ was designed to evoke the sports cars of the mid-20th century. Its design perfectly combines sporting character and elegance. Its distinctive double-bubble roof refers to prestigious sports cars, such as the famous Zagato.

This car was also designed for everyday use; its 2+2 seating configuration provides room for four comfortable passengers. It also offers more than 300 litres of boot space, which can be doubled by folding down the rear seats.

In 2013, the model received a facelift, bringing it into line with the brand’s latest releases and giving it a more feline appearance. But the French brand had more surprises in store, as it introduced the Peugeot RCZ-R. This was an updated and more extreme version of the model.

With a petrol engine producing up to 270 PS, it became the most powerful car in the brand’s history at that time. In addition, the leather and Alcantara sports seats, together with the leather steering wheel and aluminium gear lever, create the feeling of driving a vehicle with outstanding capabilities.

In short, the Peugeot RCZ has left an indelible mark on the automotive world thanks to the way it combines style and comfort. Although its production run was brief, it has left a legacy that will endure for generations of car enthusiasts.
