The Peugeot RCZ GT Line '15 stands as a testament to Peugeot's ambition to create a performance-oriented, visually striking coupé with everyday usability. Launched as one of the final iterations of the RCZ before Peugeot discontinued the model in 2015, the GT Line embodies the sleek, muscular design that has made the RCZ a modern classic. Its signature 'double-bubble' roof, prominent wheel arches, and sporty silhouette pay homage to classic sports car design while projecting a distinctly avant-garde French appeal.
Under the hood, the RCZ GT Line '15 features a turbocharged 1.6-liter THP engine producing about 200 horsepower. This responsive powerplant, paired with a precise six-speed manual transmission, delivers an engaging driving experience that has garnered praise from enthusiasts and reviewers alike. The car’s well-tuned suspension and low center of gravity offer sharp handling and a planted feel on twisty roads, living up to the GT spirit. Moreover, the GT Line trim brings further enhancements like upgraded wheels, Alcantara and leather upholstery, and unique styling cues, making it both luxurious and sporty.
Although the RCZ did not claim major victories in international motorsports, its participation in events such as the Nürburgring 24 Hours and the Peugeot RCZ Racing Cup reinforced its reputation for durability and performance. In terms of sales, the RCZ was a niche but successful entry for Peugeot, appealing to buyers looking for an affordable yet striking coupé. By the end of production, the RCZ had carved out a unique legacy as one of Peugeot’s most iconic modern cars, remembered for its blend of French flair, performance, and everyday practicality.
