peugeot 207 CC Sports CC Sports Cars

While the 207 CC perfectly encapsulates the values of Peugeot and shares basic characteristics with the 207 hatchback, it also effortlessly combines qualities rarely found on coupé-cabriolets in this market segment.

This genuinely places it in a unique position:

- a balanced and elegant style;
- superior specifications in terms of passive safety, rigidity and comfort;
- a dynamic character, combined with competent road holding

...providing both fun and enjoyment for all...

Balanced dimensions

The 207 CC shares with the hatchback the "sports" styling look at the front:

- a length of 4.037 m
- a wheelbase of 2.540 m
- a width of 1.750 m

but has a reduced height of 1.397 m (-75 mm) accentuating the coupé styling.

2 + 2 architecture for maximum enjoyment

The 2+2 type architecture featured on the 207 CC combines:

- a stylish and elegant design both in the coupé or the cabriolet configuration, thanks to its fully automatic retractable roof which folds into the boot;
- supportive seats providing good comfort levels for both front passengers;
- two further seats available at the rear;
- exceptional performance in terms of passive safety;
- a rear design which offers a practical boot able to accommodate a "space saver" spare wheel.

An elegant flowing shape that fires the passions

Styled by the Peugeot style centre, the compact and purposeful body shape of the 207 CC exudes a natural dynamism, both in the coupé and cabriolet configuration.

The front of the 207 CC shares the "sports" visual look also found on the hatchback, and with the complex curve of the front windscreen it provides a very elegant look.
The lower profile of the coupé exhibits very pure lines that evoke dynamism, thanks in particular to the flowing styling of the rear wings.

The design of the rear strengthens the Marque's identity and incorporates the lights and bumper from the hatchback. The design of the large rear windscreen, where it meets the boot lid, is highlighted by a brushed metal surround, which cleverly disguises the size of the rear of the car. In the cabriolet configuration, the design of the front windscreen pillars creates a visual barrier, leaving the passenger compartment totally open to the environment. Only the head restraints and the small chrome active rear roll over bars emerge from within this space.

In both the coupé and cabriolet configuration, the large 16" or 17" alloy wheels (as standard or optional, according to version) add a dynamic finishing touch to the 207 CC.

Dynamic engines

With two petrol engines and one diesel engine, the 207 CC comes with a comprehensive range of power trains for this market segment. In France, the range will consist of:

- 1.6 litre 16v petrol, 88 kW (≈ 120 bhp.)
- 1.6 litre 16v petrol THP 110 kW (≈ 150 bhp.)
- 1.6 litre 16v HDi DPFS 80 kW (≈ 110 bhp.)
The advanced technology used in this engine is a genuine first for a vehicle in the B segment. In addition to its variable timing system for the inlet and exhaust camshafts, a variable lift system on the inlet valves allows their maximum lift to be adjusted gradually according to the position of the accelerator pedal. The combination of these two VVT systems and the variable lift valve system improves the engine's thermodynamic efficiency, by significantly reducing fuel consumption and therefore CO2 emissions. It also guarantees improved engine responsiveness and greater engine flexibility.
As if the tres-chic 207 CC wasn’t conspicuously feminine enough, Peugeot UK went ahead and introduced a limited edition version, the styling of which was created by readers of ELLE magazine as part of a competition to design their own car. ELLE provided readers with a choice of exterior colours and interior designs, and the winning designs were then put into production by Peugeot.
Additionally, owners of the 207 CC ELLE will also receive special ELLE branded leather accessories (hopefully not like the ones they give for free in their magazine…) to match the cars’ interior: key ring, credit card holder, coin purse and a leather service / handbook wallet. Power comes from a 120Hp 1.6-liter petrol engine with prices starting from £18,495 (on-the-road).
he retractable roof is the result of Peugeot's expertise in the manufacturing of coupe-cabriolets. It has been designed 100% in-house according to rigorous specifications in terms of quality and operating durability. The roof is assembled on a dedicated production line at the Madrid plant, and is then sent to the 207 CC assembly line inside the same plant. Developed from the 206 CC, the operation of the 207 CC roof differs significantly in terms of convenience thanks to its entirely automatic operation, no more manual release handles. The only manual operation consists of pressing the control button for around 25 seconds, during which time the opening or closing cycle is completed; after all four windows have been lowered automatically. To ensure optimal sealing of the roof and assist the opening of the doors, the electric front windows are equipped with an "automatic window drop" system
The 207 CC offers its occupants a level of passive safety that is as comprehensive as possible and that takes into account many different eventualities. To limit injury as a result of a front impact, the structure of the 207 CC includes a number of reinforcements which compensate for the absence of a "roof" superstructure. These are combined with a dual front-impact absorption system which, like the hatchback, distributes impact energy between an upper structure and a lower structure. The latter also helps to protect pedestrians.
These three 4-cylinder engines have a cylinder head with twin overhead camshafts and sixteen valves and are combined with a 5-speed manual gearbox, matched to the particular characteristics of each unit. A 4-speed automatic gearbox with a Porsche System Tiptronic sequential control is also available on the new 1.6 litre 16v 88 kW petrol engine.

1.6 litre 16v petrol, 88 kW - EP6

After the 1.6 litre 16v THP (EP6DT) engine with a power of 110 kW (≈150 bhp.), the EP6 is the 2nd engine created from the co-operation with the BMW Group, to be featured in a Peugeot vehicle. It has a maximum power of 88 kW (≈120 bhp.) at 6000 rpm and a maximum torque of 160 Nm at 4250 rpm. It has a very flat torque curve, since even at low engine speeds (2000 rpm), it produces 140 Nm, or 88 % of its maximum torque, thereby ensuring excellent driveability.
