Teaser images of the highly anticipated 2011 Peugeot 308 RC-Z have hit the web, generating a little hype just in time for the 308 RC-Z’s tentatively scheduled debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. Drawing inspiration from the concept variant unveiled in 2007, the production-ready 2011 Peugeot 308 RC-Z is purportedly gunning for would-be Audi TT buyers, and if what little we can glean from the teaser photos is any indication, ripping off the TT’s sweeping, dome-shaped roof lines is its first market-jacking tactic.

No word yet on engine options or prices, but rumor has it the 308 RC-Z will likely be offered with the MINI John Cooper Works’ twin-scroll turbocharged 1.6L engine in addition to a 200hp+ turbo diesel model.
