Peugeot RCZ R

The Peugeot RCZ R is the high performance version of the RCZ sports car.
== Description ==
: Text originally from the Peugeot RCZ Wikipedia article.
In November 2012, Peugeot announced their intention of building a more powerful, performance oriented RCZ. In July 2013, the first official pictures of the car were released. The RCZ R has a turbocharged 1.6l engine capable of producing 270 bhp and 330NM of torque, allowing it a 0-62 time of 5.9 seconds and a top speed limited to 155 mph. It also features uprated 380mm Alcon brakes and suspension, a significantly reduced curb weight and a Torsen front differential.
Originally from a concept car shown in 2010, it was originally not expected to make production (similar to its close rival, the Audi TTS Coupe). However, it was given the green light for production in 2012 amidst plans for a "reniassance" in Peugeot's car models. The RCZ was joined by the RCZ-R a few months later, which boasted the most bhp per litre in any car when it first came out. It is also the most powerful production French car to be released in the 21th Century.

====Performance and Usage====

Given its otherwise average performance, the RCZ R does not have any use in events, multiplayer, or career mode.

Stylized as the Peugeot RCZ-R, the RCZ R is a mid Tier 1 car, and was added in update 1.1.0. It can only be unlocked through its own special event, or rented for .
The RCZ R does not have good stats, similar to the Hyundai Veloster Turbo. Tailored specifically for top speed similar to the Veloster, the RCZ R has a poor acceleration stat. Its handling is also bad; it is the worst for its tier, with poor turning and drifting radiuses as well as poor capabilities, requiring the player to drift early to make a turn.
Overall the RCZ R is not a good car to use having been surpassed by the Mercedes-Benz Classe C Coupe. It is also a poor potion for multiplayer due to the fact that it cannot compete with the Veloster even though both have the same top speed.
