Peugeot Celebrate The 75th Anniversary With New 308 CC

Peugeot will celebrate the 75th anniversary of its invention of the retractable steel roof when it launches the new 308 CC next month.

The 308 CC was first unveiled in Australia at Sydney’s Australian International Motor Show last year, and was the star of Peugeot’s stand at the Melbourne International Motor Show earlier this year.

The 308 CC replaces the highly successful 307 CC which, along with the 206 CC, brought folding hardtop technology to the masses early this decade.

The new car improves on the 307 CC in every way. It features more cabin and boot space, a more luxurious interior, and a wider range of engine and transmission choices.

These features include Peugeot’s world-first side head airbags which deploy to cushion the occupant’s head in the event of a collision. The innovation is one of a raft of safety features that comprise a five-star EuroNCap rating.

The Airwave neck heating system emits warm air around the occupant’s neck and shoulders, making open top motoring an option even on the coldest days.
