Peugeot has opened the order books for the new 508 PSE (Peugeot Sport Engineered) in Germany, where it is available in two body styles.

The 508 PSE combines a turbocharged 1.6-liter engine with two electric motors, for a total output of 360 PS (355 HP / 265 kW) and 520 Nm (384 lb-ft) of torque. It uses an eight-speed automatic transmission and has all-wheel drive thanks to an electric motor driving the rear wheels, with the French automaker claiming a 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) sprint time of 5.2 seconds and a 250 km/h (155 mph) top speed.

With the debuts of the Peugeot 508 PSE sedan and wagon variants, Peugeot’s unveiling of the high-performance duo will lead the French brand’s thrust towards introducing a Peugeot Sport Engineered variant of every model it sells, Peugeot CEO Jean-Phillipe Imparato told
The French automaker’s CEO intends for the brand to have a major launch every year in every region, which “will be the case in 2021 and we will have something in March,” said Imparato. “I am then working on the next step of the Peugeot line-up in 2023 – I’m always feeding the renewal of the line-up in order to achieve the one-launch-per-year strategy,” he said.

Peugeot has premiered the 508 PSE, the high-performance dual-motor plug-in hybrid version of its 508 in sedan and SW estate bodystyles. This is the ‘quintessential expression’ of Peugeot Sport engineers’ expertise, says the firm, and here appear to rather closely resemble the 508 Peugeot Sport Engineered Concept that was unveiled at last year’s Geneva Motor Show.
Touted as Peugeot’s most powerful production model to date, powertrain for the 508 PSE is comprised of a 1.6 litre inline-four cylinder direct-injection turbocharged petrol engine that produces 200 PS at 6,000 rpm and 300 Nm of torque at 3,000 rpm, and this is mated to a pair of electric motors; the front axle motor produces 110 hp and 320 Nm of torque, while the rear unit makes 113 hp and 166 Nm of torque.
