France breathes class and fashion through all its pores but unfortunately that doesn’t always include the auto segment. Of course we have the Bugatti Veyron and GtbyCitroen but every rule has its exceptions.

Considering all that, Peugeot decided to put a new spin on things with the new 308 RC Z model. This Audi TT-inspired automobile was officially introduced on the market in 2006 but three years had to pass for the French automaker to receive PSA’s approval for the swept-roof coupe to enter production. During all this time we had to satisfy our thirst with teaser pictures showing the beautiful 308 RC Z.

Good things happen to those who wait… so, after three long years Peugeot’s 308 RC Z will arrive at this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show (September) riding on Mini JCW’s turbocharged engine.
