Powering the Asphalt will be Peugeot's existing 1.6-ltre THP engine developing 197bhp and 188lb/ft of torque with an overboost system adding an extra 15lb/ft of torque. The sprint to 60 will take 7.6sec.

Only 500 examples will be released although prices and availability are yet to be confirmed by Peugeot.

Peugeot has already produced a special edition of its RCZ of which only 200 were made. It featured pearlescent white paint, matt black 19-inch alloy wheels and carbonfibre roof. Power came from a 154bhp 1.6-litre petrol engine. With a price tag of £31,585, expect a similar figure for the Asphalt.
