I’ve driven a 275 a number of times as my father’s partner used to own one. Very exciting car, much faster than my 306 GTI-6.

However… the 306’s chassis works better with you on the road, and it also had better suspension tuning and composure than the 275, in my opinion.

100% agree. Rides the bumps so well so well, which is probably more relevant in 2022 than it was 25 years ago when they were current. Just sublime damping, famously designed and made entirely in-house by Peugeot of course.

And not a single microchip, sensor or adjustable setting anywhere to be seen too. Just good old fashioned Engineering and knowhow.

Exactly. I’d love to know the secret to how they managed to perfect that car. The engineering team is relatively uncredited and there’s not that much info around!

Tyre wall profile vs todays offerings
Ride height - it sits much higher than modern vehicles
Pretty sure it wasn’t developed or carried out any official Ring times by Pug
These cars all went rallying properly so this and previous models had manufacturer team developing suspension for rallying maybe some of that came to the road.

I’ll wager it doesn’t have suspension as good as the Clio Sport 182 Cup R with its special shocks on the front?
