Description
- Text originally from the Peugeot RCZ Wikipedia article.
In November 2012, Peugeot announced their intention of building a more powerful, performance oriented RCZ. In July 2013, the first official pictures of the car were released. The RCZ R has a turbocharged 1.6l engine capable of producing 270 bhp and 330NM of torque, allowing it a 0-62 time of 5.9 seconds and a top speed limited to 155 mph. It also features uprated 380mm Alcon brakes and suspension, a significantly reduced curb weight and a Torsen front differential.
Asphalt 7: Heat
Erroneously named as the Peugeot RCZ-R, the RCZ R is a Tier 1 car, and was added in update 1.1.0. It can only be unlocked through its own special event.
Asphalt 8: Airborne
Summary
The Peugeot RCZ R was added in the Motorcycles Update as a mid Class D car with the following statistics:
- Starting rank: 1011
- This was changed to 1026 in the Showdown Update.
- MAX rank: 1166 (+155)
- This was changed to 1180 (+154) in the Showdown Update.
- MAX+PRO rank: 1276 (+110)
- This was changed to 1285 (+105) in the Showdown Update.
- Tuning Kit bonus: +41
- This was changed to +28 in the Showdown Update.
- Nitro Efficiency: 5/8/10
Performance and Usage
The RCZ R, while not the worst car, does not excel in any stat. It has mediocre acceleration, handling and top speed, making it what is was meant to be: a mid-end D Class car.
The RCZ R, however, does possess a stellar nitro efficiency of 5/8/10, in comparison to the 4/8/11 that the Donkervoort D8 GTO possesses, making it the most nitro-efficient car in the entire game.
Given its otherwise average performance, the RCZ R does not have any use in events, Multiplayer, or career mode.
The Peugeot RCZ R rewards 75 on its 5th Mastery challenge.
Price and availability
After its initial release, the Peugeot RCZ R was made available to players, save between October 4-10, 2017.
When available, it requires 8 common blueprints to be constructed. Assembling the RCZ R takes 2 hours but can be skipped for 195. As of the 2019 Spring Update, the Peugeot RCZ R costs 342,000 to MAX and 113,600 to PRO.
