4/5 Carbuyer: “The Peugeot RCZ has always been one of the best-looking cars in its class, but has been criticised for not offering enough performance to be a proper sports car. The Peugeot RCZ R changes that, giving the Peugeot enough performance to compete with fast versions of the Audi TT, Porsche Cayman, and Volkswagen Scirroco.”
“All RCZs are good-looking cars, but Peugeot have given the R a more aggressive look thanks to the inclusion of a new spoiler, bigger wheels, and matt-black roof arches. The somewhat boring RCZ interior is also lifted by the addition of two imposing sports seats.”
4/5 What Car? "The 2014 Peugeot RCZ R is the company’s most powerful production car ever, conceived to go up against not just fast coupes but also the best hot hatches.”
4/5 Parkers: "On the road it’s a brilliant car – it’s sporty and fun to drive thanks to its well-sorted chassis and that engine provides a sprint from 0-62mph in 6.1 seconds with a soundtrack to match. While Peugeot doesn’t expect to sell very many, the RCZ R is undoubtedly the enthusiasts’ choice.”
4/5 AutoExpress: “Keen drivers should check out the RCZ R, which features searing levels of performance akin to an Audi S3 or Volkswagen Golf R. With 266bhp, it’s the most powerful production car Peugeot has ever made."
