In the GTI category, the 309 GTI 16 represents the most highly developed version in the Peugeot catalogue. The engineers dared to put under the bonnet of this 309 the engine of the 405 Mi 16. The 160 bhp output enabled the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 kph in less than eight seconds and to hit a top speed of 220 kph, thus putting this ‘hot hatchback' at the front of the pack at the height of the great GTI era and enabling it to match the standing start and mid-range acceleration of certain German sporting cars
The car in our sale was first registered in Spain in 1991. Today the odometer shows a little less than 124 000 km. In 2017, the current owner entrusted a Peugeot dealer with major maintenance and restoration work. This 309 GTI 16 was entirely resprayed in its original tone of Futura grey and the wheels were also repainted. The electric blue carpets which were a feature of this model, are in good condition, as are the 405 MI 16 type bucket seats. The mechanical organs of the car were thoroughly overhauled: new timing belts, water pump, camshaft and battery were fitted. The rubber bushes and arms of the front suspension were renewed and the rear suspension had a standard exchange. The rear wheel bearings and all the flexible brake hoses are new. The car is therefore in particularly good mechanical and cosmetic condition, which is unusual for a model which has often been harshly used and badly maintained. The strong impression which the 309 GTI 16 when new left in the minds of a whole generation of teenagers means that it is now one of the most eagerly sought after youngtimers.
