SSP system in Peugeot 207 Gti
A new SSP function will really boost the Peugeot 207 Gti. The system applies more braking power to the wheels with good grip and anticipates any vehicle instability. It also applies torque to the steering to help the driver achieve optimal directional control. Unlike an ABS system which limits braking of the wheels with good grip to give priority to vehicle control, this system reduces braking distances by between 4% and 10% while still guaranteeing vehicle stability in a straight line.
The efficient braking system would be useless without a powerful engine. The 207 Gti assures motorists the right performance that will compliment the new braking system with the 1.6 liter THP (Turbo High Pressure) engine. It can produce a maximum power of 128kW and a torque of 240 Nm from only 1600 rpm. The torque output of the engine remains unchanged all the way up to 4500 rpm but can be increased to 260 Nm temporarily, thanks to the “over-boost” function. It is also fitted with a 5-speed manual gearbox with specific gear ratios.
The 207 Gti is said to be the modern evolution of the eighties “hot hatchback”, that offers an interior space to carry both passengers and luggage. The vehicle has great seats that are ergonomically designed.
Other safety feature includes the 207’s strong and protective structure to protect the occupants in the event of a collision. Combined with six airbags as standard and two Isofix child safety seat mountings at the rear, the 207 was awarded five stars in the Euro NCAP test for adult occupant protection.
The vehicle also comes with a rear parking aid, elliptical headlamps incorporating static directional lighting, a speed limiter coupled with a cruise control, automatic headlamps and wipers, dual zone climate control air conditioning, tire under-inflation sensors, folding electric door mirrors and an electro-chrome interior rear-view mirror
