Peugeot Unveils RCZ Facelift and RCZ R Study with 260HP, Both go on Sale Next Year [45 Photos]

French car (and scooter) brand Peugeot may be having troubles in the European market, but that's not going to stop it from attending the Paris Motor Show where it plans to debut an array of production and concept models including the facelifted RCZ coupe and the performance RCZ R Concept.

We will begin our tour with the refreshed RCZ that will arrive in European showrooms during the first quarter of 2013.

The 2013 model year version of Peugeot's Audi TT challenger has received a round of cosmetic and equipment updates, while keeping the same engine range as before, including a 1.6-liter turbocharged petrol in 154hp (156PS) and 197hp (200PS) variants, and a 2.0-liter turbo diesel generating 161hp (163PS).

Toyota GT 86 and Peugeot RCZ Coupes Playing Around in Greece

While the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ have their work cut out in the States due to the plethora of relatively affordable rear-wheel drive sports coupe proposals including the $22,200 Ford Mustang V6 and the $24,250 Hyundai Genesis 2.0-liter Turbo, over in Europe, buyers don't have near as many choices in the segment.
