Peugeot shows off traction control technology in an indoor snow slope
02 Jul 2013|5,745 views
During the recent launch event for the U.K. media, Peugeot took journalists out of the Summer sun and into the cooler snowdome in Tamworth, Staffs. Once inside, guests discovered examples of the 2008 parked at the base of the 170 metre ski slope.
First they took the wheel of a 2008 without Grip Control and struggled to get more than a few metres on the hard-packed snow before swapping to a car with Grip Control equipped - the contrast in performance couldn't have been more stark despite an average gradient of 27 degrees coupled with a 90-degree corner posed no problems.
The launch of the Peugeot 2008 Crossover was the largest media driving event ever staged at Tamworth Snowdome, the U.K.'s first indoor show slope when it opened in 1994.
