A reimagined GTi heritage
A reimagined GTi heritage
Behind the new PEUGEOT E-208 GTi lies a clear ambition: to revive the spirit of a legend while ushering it into a new electric era. At the PEUGEOT Design Centre, Michaël Trouvé and Benoît Morin worked hand in hand to shape a GTi that remains true to its heritage, down to the finest detail.
For Michaël Trouvé, Design Project Manager, everything begins with the silhouette. Inspired by the iconic 205 GTi, the new PEUGEOT E-208 GTi embraces that same athletic stance, bold character, and instantly recognisable presence that defined the model’s legacy. Every exterior line has been designed to create an expressive, dynamic car, embodying a new generation of sportiness at PEUGEOT.

In the cabin, Benoît Morin, CMF (Colour, Material, Finish) Design Director, explains how materials, colours and finishes fully contribute to the GTi experience. Here, red becomes far more than a visual signature: it expresses a mindset that remains true to the spirit of the iconic original 205 GTi. From seat stitching to seatbelts, and from textiles to exclusive floor mats, every detail helps create a sporty interior worthy of its badge.
