Peugeot is a very proud sponsor of the 2012 Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Naturally, we’ll have a world-class stand at the festival this year – showcasing two exciting new Peugeot concept cars, alongside our range of industry-leading green cars and diesel hybrids.
This year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed is themed around “Young Guns – Born to Win” – a fitting headline for the rebirth of one of our most legendary vehicles.

Visitors to Goodwood can experience the first UK showing of the brand new 208 GTi Concept – a modern take on a Peugeot icon, the 205 GTi. The 208 GTi Concept is a smaller, lighter vehicle than its predecessor, the Peugeot 207, and has more space internally.
The new Peugeot 208 GTi Concept car features lower bodywork spoilers, lower sill skirt extensions, double chrome exhaust pipes, a brushed aluminium GTi Concept logo, and a crisp chequered flag motif on the metal mesh grille.
As well as unveiling the striking new 208, we’ll be showcasing a futuristic concept capable of changing size to seat between four and six people. This powerful diesel hybrid, the Peugeot HX1 concept car, will be displayed for the first time to UK fans.

This car is simply stunning: beautiful and sleek in design, yet practical and passenger-orientated, it is able to undergo a metamorphosis to seat four, five or even six people, with four half-scissor doors, aerodynamic contours and an adjustable steering wheel for a truly luxurious driving experience.
Peugeot is driven by the emotion of motoring – nothing embodies the UK’s love of automotive design more than the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
We’re not just showcasing our latest car models, either. Visitors to the Peugeot stand can enjoy breath-taking dance routines from the Let Your Body Drive dancers, inspired by US Internet dance sensation, Marquese Scott. A recent video featuring the Peugeot 208 and Marquese’s body-popping moves has already gained more than two-million views on YouTube.
