In the auspicious annual Diesel Car magazine’s 'Car of the Year Awards 2013', the Peugeot RCZ Sports Coupé has again been selected as the winner of the 'Best Sports Car' category, beating off strong opposition from the Mercedes-Benz SLK and others to retain this title undefeated.

The Peugeot RCZ is distinguished by its characteristic double-bubble roofline and aluminium roof arches.

This well specced up Sport RCZ version is available with a choice of two 1.6-litre petrol engines and a 2.0-litre HDi 163 turbo-diesel.
Strong performance with 240 lb ft of torque from 2,000rpm means the RCZ can reach 62mph in 8.7 seconds onto a top speed of 137mph. The economy in the Combined Drive Cycle at 53.2mpg is impressive, combined with CO2 at just 139g/km.
The RCZ was recognised for its combination of style, performance and economy and has been Diesel Car Magazine's 'Best-Sports Car' title winner since its launch in 2010. Diesel Car Editor, Ian Robertson said:

"Here is a pocket supercar for far less money than its voluptuous looks and slick behaviour would lead you to expect."
The Peugeot RCZ range starts at Euro 31,600, with the HDi 163 Sport priced at Euro 33,600.

The latest 2013 Peugeot RCZ Sports is currently on display at Michael Attard Ltd. National Road, Blata l-Bajda.
