That"s more like it. Meet the one-off Peugeot 308 designed and built by Italian racing team Arduini Corse. It has no tacked on, unofficial name, but it does have more power, and we like it when cars get more power. The Pug"s turbo 1.6-litre four-pot now gets a healthy 300bhp up from 270bhp thanks to a new ECU. In fact, it"s based on the ECU found in the 308 Mi16 racer. Arduini Corse henceforth referred to as AC has also slotted in beefier, ventilated Brembo brakes and pads, because as a wise movie never said, with great power comes greater braking stiffness.
