Exterior

Most of the changes have been done to the exterior of the car. The 308 received a brand new body kit that makes the car appear closer to the ground. Right beneath the typical grill of the model, new larger air vents have been added.

The headlights and taillights have remained unchanged but the rear bumper is now wider and bigger. A color scheme has been introduced. In the rear portion, one-third of the car has been painted black, while the front in red.

Interior

The interior received multiple upgrades to get the car closer to how a sports version would feel, and the new racing seats will do that. An LCD screen has been added for improved ergonomics. No other details were given about other interior design upgrades.

The 2013 Peugeot 308 R Concept comes with improvements that turn the car into a genuine sports car. With the expertise of the engineering team, the car offers not only improved looks but also great performance.
