EXCELLENT NEWS FROM THE WORLO OF hot little cars: after a hiatus of five years Peugeot’s famous GTI badge has returned for the electric era, now attached to the e-208 and fettled by the folks who make the 9X8 hypercar.

The e-208 GTI gets a string of visual touches to do its great grandpa-the 205 GTI proud. These include a new front lip, more pronounced rear wing, and an aggressive diffuser with an integrated LED fog light inspired, clearly, by the armada of MKVII Golf R boy racers.
