The new Peugeot 308 GTi hot hatch has been unveiled ahead of its formal debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed next week. I do not boring you with lengthy press releases, so I am going to give you bullet points on the new hit little number from the French.

From a styling point of view, the new 308 GTi adopts an understated look, but trained eyes will no doubt detect exclusive details such as the full LED headlights, new black radiator grille with a horizontal chequered pattern and gloss-black finishing, red lettering for the Peugeot logo, sharper side sills, gloss black rear diffuser integrating the twin exhaust pipes, as well as GTi logos on the front fenders and tailgate.
