230 is it's power output. Not sure how many have been built to date, and the order book is now closed for them.

The plaque near my handbrake says mine is number 2061.

Very nice ... and must be a proper good laugh to drive!

I used to have a "Peugeot 206 RC" in black (was known as a GTi 180 in UK) ... the 180 referring to the bhp it had :thumb:
The weight of it was just a shade over over 1000kgs I think ... so not a bad power to weight ratio :wink:
Was normally aspirated (ie no turbo), and revved to around 7.5K RPM´s in stock trim ... cylinder heads were re-designed by F1 mechanics from what I remember.

Was like driving a ridiculously overpowered and angry FWD go-kart on both NOS and steroids that accelerated like a right little demon :evil:
It chased most things down the Autobahn (I lived in Germany at the time) up to ~220kmh without too much problem, or without losing much ground on 'em either - including Porsche 911 Carreras as I found out on the test drive :shocked:

Even more subtle styling than your Megan though, just a couple of low profile 17" wheels and a little "RC" badge on the rear ... so caught many a Beemer driver well unawares ound:

Mine was a company car :becky:... and all fuel paid by company ... silly thing really, not sure I would ever buy one if it were coming out of my pocket, but relatively cheap and most amusing to drive :thumb:
Handling was great, unless it rained or snowed, then it was "buyer beware" if you were on the twisties ... screaming engined, fwd balanceed "power slides" (understeer) galore

The Mini Cooper in Race 07 reminds me of it a lot ... guess this is why I enjoy driving it so much :wink:

(gutted as I don't seem to have any pics of my actual car for some reason ... but here´s some from the web I found a while back)

Thanks. it is fun round corners thanks to the LSD.

You mention the not so subtle styling though. You should see what I had removed, F1 laurels, check pattern from the roof and check pattern with Renault F1 Team on the front and rear bumpers.

And I remember the GTi 180, used to have fun against one on a twisty road near home when I had a Clio 182.

 

[Danny Pattiwael]

I will post pictures soon of my Clio Williams as soon as I can find them and maybe my company car VW Golf, although I only have crash damage pictures of the latter when I had a small incident with it hehe

"LSD" I assume is not a drug connotation, but the ESP/traction control system?
When I was really playing in the Peugeot I always turned that off (way more fun without :becky ... you could turn it off on the move, and at any speed from what I remember ... there was then a funky space age kinda "bing bong" noise, which for me was the announcement of fun time :evil: ... and usually the point at which my wife or any passengers would have good cause to get a bit more concerned about having stepped into the car with me that day

(EDIT: just in case anyone starts, I only really drive/drove fast when safe to do so or without any undue risk to others, and when I have passengers on board I am very mindful of their well being!!!)

 

[Paul Metcalfe]

Sorry LSD=Limited Slip Differential. My head messed up enough without that sort of stuff.

 

[Lee Downham]

oooohhh nice ... not sure the Peugeot was that advanced, I do know that it was set up to be quite under-steery though, as with most production cars (for safety)

Hey ... I just noticed ... you spelt Manchestaaaaahh wrong in your "location" ound:

 

[Paul Metcalfe]

If I have I know where there's a city full of people who spell it wrong too.

 

[Lee Downham]

... sorry my mistake ... they just all pronounce it wrong :wink:

(being a Lancastrian myself, I would know coz I obviously speak as proper as they come )

 

[Paul Metcalfe]

We're not that bad, it's everyone else in the red rose county who can't speak propor an that innt?

I'm off for a Stellor, with r donna who works in asdor. innit.

 

[Karl Westman]

A picture taken by me as I'm driving to work in my 911 (actually, on my way back to office after a customer meeting)

And here she is (an old crappy pic taken on the ferry from Germany)


Kind regards,
Karl

 

[Des McGregor]

It's old, it understeers like a bastard, the brakes are ****, it's got no air-con, the sub-frame is rusting away, the paint is faded, the synchromesh has all but disappeared.
