New Peugeot 207CC Black & White Special Edition

If you happen to be reading these lines from Germany, Peugeot has just rolled out a new special edition version of its funky 207 CC hardtop convertible called 'Black & White'.

As the car's name implies, this 207 CC is available exclusively with a white exterior finish and a black leather interior. Special features include the body-colored front apron and boot-lid spoiler, chrome tail pipes and a new set of 18-inch alloy wheels.

Along with the leather seats, Peugeot also added a two-zone climate control, heated seats, power-folding exterior mirrors, a MP3-capable audio system, automatic headlights and rear parking distance sensors to the 207 CC's standard equipment.

The new Peugeot 207 CC Black & White is offered with two engine options, a naturally aspirated 1.6-liter petrol with 120HP and a turbocharged 1.6-liter petrol pumping out 156HP, with prices set at €26,450 and €27,850 respectively.

New Limited Run Peugeot 207 S16 is All Show, No Go

French carmaker Peugeot is capitalizing on Kriss Meeke's 2009 Intercontinental Rally Challenge (IRC) driver's title with the creation of the special edition 207 S16 that will be produced in a mere 250 examples, all of which are intended for the UK market.

Unfortunately, despite its dramatic, go-fast looks, the 207 S16 is nothing more than a dressed up 207 Sport 1.6 VTi.

Changes over the Sport model include the standard Bianca white finish that's complemented by a full 207 RC Cup bodykit comprising front and rear spoilers, side skirts and a pseudo rear diffuser, 17-inch Hockenheim alloy wheels, dark tinted rear windows, a 'sports mesh' front grille and special interior badge signed by Kris Meeke.

Buyers can also opt free of charge for vinyl rally graphics that mimic those found on Kris Meeke's IRC winning 207 S2000 rally car.

The 207S16 is powered by the same 1.6-liter four-pot with 120HP found on the Sport model.

The 1.6-liter engine propels the three-door hatch from zero to 62mph (100km/h) in a sober 10.7 seconds and on to a maximum speed of 125mph or 201km/h, while returning a combined fuel economy of 47.1mpg UK or 39.2mpg US - 6.0 lt/100km.

Peugeot's UK arm said that the 207 S16 benefits from over £1,200 worth of additional specification compared to a standard Sport model and is priced at £14,695.

Peugeot's Frisky 207 GTi Superchipped to 190HP

ECU specialist "Superchips" has announced a new performance upgrade for the Ford Fiesta-sized Peugeot 207 GTi which is sold with the 'RC' badge in markets outside the UK. The tuner claims that after the ECU remap, the 207 GTi's 1.6-liter twin-scroll turbocharged engines produces a power gain of 12bhp, from 178bhp to 190bhp with an extra 25bhp in the mid range.

Furthermore, torque is lifted from a measured 258Nm (188lb.ft) to 306Nm (223lb.ft,) with is available from 2000rpm to 4000rpm.

The new ECU upgrade for all MY2007 onwards Peugeot 207 GTis can be installed by visiting one of approximately 100 Superchips dealerships in the UK.

The performance remap is priced at £391.00 including 17.5 per cent VAT and is covered by a 12 month, 30,000 mile warranty.

Peugeot 207 SW Outdoor Facelift Scooped with New Face?

The Pug-lovers over at 'Feline-207' have caught an undisguised prototype of what initially appears to be the facelift version of Peugeot's 207 SW Outdoor small crossover. However, there is a strong possibility that the car seen here is the SW Outdoor variant of the 207 99g that was shown for the first time in Geneva this past March. We say this because the only visible difference between the current 207 SW Outdoor and the prototype seen here concerns the modified fascia with the 'less smiley' lower grille which is identical to the one featured on the eco-friendly version of the 207 hatchback that's powered by a tweaked 1.6-litre diesel engine with 90HP emitting under 100g/km of CO2 per km.

On the other hand, Peugeot could be readying to change the front fascia on the entire range of the 207. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Next-Generation Peugeot 208 Dramatically Rendered

We're still a couple of years away from the introduction of the replacement for the Peugeot 207 that will most likely follow the French automaker's current naming system and be called 208, but we're already seeing the first rendered speculations. This CGI proposes a very dramatic yet clean look for Peugeot's Ford Fiesta rival with a prominent lower front grille and concave surfacing on the supermini's sides.

We don't know if the artist created the Peugeot 208 rendering based on inside information, but we certainly hope that the production model looks something like this. Due to hit showrooms in late 2011 - early 2012, the 208 will be available as a hatchback (three and five door variants) as well as a coupe-convertible with a retractable hardtop and a practical station-wagon.
