Catie Munnings is the first female driver to win a European Rally title in nearly 50 years. At only 19 years of age, she is the current FIA Ladies European Rally Champion.
Due to her staggering success in the field, Catie has recently been announced as the Peugeot brand ambassador. It was last year (at just 18) when Catie drove the Peugeot 208 R2 to a win in the Sainteloc Junior Rally Team.
Beginning her career in only 2015, she has picked up wins in both Belgium and Latvia.
Peugeot UK recognised Catie’s achievements and realised that (with her racing credentials) she was the perfect candidate to launch the sporty new Peugeot 208 Black edition: a more distinctive looking 208 model with big features and a low price.
208 Black Edition can be driven away in three eye-catching colours: Nera Black, Bianca White and Hurricane Grey and whichever you choose, you’ll get a lot of bang for your buck:
- 16” Titane Gloss Black alloy wheels with white laser engraving
- Equaliser Grille with gloss black finisher
- Gloss black door mirror shells with colour accents.
- 7” multifunction colour touchscreen
- DAB Digital Radio
- Bluetooth media and telephony
- Apple CarPlay, MirrorLink & Android Auto compatibility
Each Peugeot 208 Black Edition is powered by a spritely 1.2 litre PureTech 82 petrol engine and can achieve up to 62.9 MPG on a combined driving cycle. This same engine was awarded the “International Engine of the Year” in 2015 and 2016 and it’s not hard to see why. Power is offered without comprising economy.
David Peel (Managing Director of Peugeot UK) stated:
“Catie’s achievements speak for themselves and her knowledge of the PEUGEOT brand’s sporting heritage means bringing her on board as one of our ambassadors was a natural next step”.
“Catie is no stranger to the PEUGEOT 208 either having driven it extensively in rally car guise, and the new Black Edition gives buyers more choice with a striking but sophisticated styling package and the latest connectivity technology”.
Catie is thrilled to be part of the Peugeot team and commented:
“I’m very excited to kick start my next chapter with PEUGEOT. There are some exciting projects in the pipeline that I‘m thrilled to be a part of. I think the PEUGEOT 208 Black Edition is a brilliant car too. It looks and feels great and I really think its sporting appeal sets it apart – it’s basically any young person’s dream car!”
