RCZ gets slight revisions maintain its desirability

It was only three years back when Peugeot brought to us the stunning RCZ coupe, which puts it firmly as one of the most desirable car of its time. As previous rumours have affirmed, the French marque unveiled an updated version of the coupe at this year's Paris Motor Show.

The coupe takes on a new front facet, sporting twin satin-chromed stripes in the front air intake. The new grille is also underlined by a lower air intake fully extended to each flank. Boasting a sense of technical excellence is the array of daytime-running LEDs and new headlamps cluster, either in halgoen with aluminum background, or directional Xenon with titanium. The signature double-bubble roof is now available in carbon fibre, carrying either a matt or glossy finish.

Completing the aesthetical makeover is the 18-inch alloys for the Sport variant, available in standard 'Classic' finish; or either 'Dark Grey' (two-tone diamond/dark grey); 'Full Pirit Grey' (mid grey) as cost options.

The facelifted RCZ will also come with an additional engine variant - a 200bhp HDi FAP diesel power-plant derived from competition, tested and proven at the 24-hour Nurburgring where it won the D1T category twice. Otherwise, it will sport identical powerplant options carried over from the pre-facelift model.

Let's hope it will not take too long for this mesmerising coupe to land on local shores.
