The Peugeot RCZ coupé was to be the new sports coupé focus for Peugeot, on moving out of the hot hatch segment with canning its GTI badge. While that decision has been partially reversed, we still remained skeptical about this new Peugeot coupé love affair. On seeing these RCZ live pics from the 2010 Geneva Motor Show though, we’re just about convinced that it’s not a bad model after all, and not just the Audi TT rip-off it first seemed.

The RCZ is audacious and original, and should definitely appeal to the French market at least, with their own, home grown coupé on the market. This vehicle is for a customer who isn’t afraid to try something new, without giving up a sports drive.

The Peugeot RCZ has already had a limited release with the RCZ Black Yearling model, and the RCZ Limited Edition model. But it’s finally ready for its spring appearance on the market, as the company turns over a new leaf in its brand image. And if the SR1 Concept was to go into production too, we’ll fast become French fans on this blog.

We knew the special edition of the Peugeot RCZ, the Black Yearling was coming to Spain, but plans have been made to extend its availability to Italy where market demand is high. Only 100 units of the original Peugeot RCZ Limited Edition that was released after this year’s Frankfurt motor show were to made, of which Italy was to get just three.

Apparently there was a huge request though, and so Peugeot has decided to take the Black Yearling there too, meaning so far only Spain and Italy will see this version. Deliveries should start in spring next year, with the engine options available being the 1.6-litre THP with 156 hp, and the 2.0-litre HDi with 163 hp, costing 32,000 and 35,000 euros respectively. We figure if you get enough friends together and start lobbying Peugeot, maybe you could get a model, too.
