Power is up by 8bhp over the standard model, lifting peak output to 205bhp, while torque rises by 18lb ft to 221lb ft. That's pretty minor stuff compared to the transmission and chassis upgrades, however.
The gear ratios have been shortened for more urgent straight-line acceleration, while a Torsen limited-slip differential has been fitted to better manage the power and torque at the front wheels; it's the same unit that serves in the RCZ-R. A six-speed manual remains the only gearbox option.
Peugeot Sport has gone to town on the chassis. Compared to the standard GTi, the track has been widened by 22mm at the front and 16mm at the rear. The car rides 10mm lower on stiffer springs and dampers. The rear spring rates are up by some 80 per cent, which shifts the roll resistance rearwards in a bid to make the car more agile.
The rear anti-roll bar is unchanged, but the front bar is smaller to help further improve traction over the standard car. Toe and camber rates have also been tweaked to improve grip and turn-in, while Michelin Pilot Super Sport rubber gives more grip at the expense of progression in break-away.
Bigger brake discs at the front axle and Brembo calipers give the 208 GTi 30th the braking performance to match the improved dynamics.
Heavily bolstered seats, matte black detailing in place of the standard car's chrome work, side skirt and wheel arch extensions and black 18-inch wheels complete the package of upgrades.
