Used Peugeot 208 E-THP GTI 30TH for saleJUST ARRIVED A RARE CAR AND ONLY A LIMITED AMOUNT MADE INDEED JUST 100 FOR UK MARKET . LOOKS RTHE PART AND DRIVES THE PART.. GOOD HISTORY .. SEE THE FULL MODEL WRITE UP BELOW What’s it like to drive? Altogether sharper and more aggressive than the standard version. The two standout differences are braking performance and traction; in these two areas the GTi 30th is a huge step on. The new brakes bring a firmer pedal, much more initial bite and better stability, too.
