207 gets cosmetic changes to celebrate Kris Meeke's IRC victory in 2009

Peugeot has released a special edition 207 to celebrate Kris Meeke’s Intercontinental Rally Challenge (IRC) championship win last year.

Limited to just 250 units, the Peugeot 207 S16 is based on the three-door 207 Sport 1.6 VTi model and all the changes are cosmetic.

The S16 gets a bodykit featuring front and rear spoilers, side skirts and a pseudo rear diffuser and it rides on white 17-inch Hockenheim alloy wheels. All models are painted in Bianca White and graphics replicating Meeke’s IRC livery are a no cost option.

It also gets a mesh front grille, the tinted rear windows from the 207 GTi and a special interior badge signed by Meeke himself. A black leather interior is a £684.21 option.

Its 1.6-litre petrol engine produces 120bhp and 120lb ft of toque. The S16 can get from 0-62mph in 10.7sec and go on to reach 125mph. Combined fuel economy is 47.1mpg and CO2 emissions are 139g/km.

The Peugeot 207 S16 costs from £14,695 and is available to order now.
