The Peugeot With The Look of a Supercar: The 406 Coupe
If you are wondering why the 406 Coupe is still so sexy after 20 years, let’s start from the fact that it was born from the divine pencil of Pininfarina. Introduced in 1997, the French coupe has passed the test of time with praise and rediscovering it today is something extremely special, whether for its fascinating and unmistakable style that gives the coupe a timeless elegance, whether for the ability to combine extraordinary (small) grand tourer skills to a car perfectly usable 365 days a year.
In addition to the diesel versions, the two engines that are most appealing today are the 2.0cc 4-cylinder with 140hp and the powerful 3-liter V6 with 207hp, the latter capable of a 0-100kph in just 7.8 seconds and a top speed of 240 per hour. Available with both manual and automatic gearboxes, the 406 Coupe showed that Peugeot was able to offer a beautiful which is at the same time a pleasure to drive, with just enough space and comfort for 2 people plus 2 in the back. Take your time for a complete check-up of the chassis and the engine and find one with a well-preserved leather interior – you will not stop driving it.
