Our impressions :
Hot ahead! More flexible than really virulent, the 406 with the 136 bhp 2.2 Hdi
engine provides real driving pleasure, whatever the traffic conditions. Very
quiet and without the slightest jerking from the transmission, in Power System’s hands it now has 164 bhp and 37 KGM of torque. Respectable values, which, before testing, forebode well for worthy performance. Stopwatch in hand, the results are even better. To the roundness of the standard version, Power System adds a touch of aggressiveness, easily handled by the excellent chassis. Willing right from the lowest revs, the mechanical system plays on the enormous elasticity and retains the original vehicle’s linear character.
The acceleration is such that the 406 can shamelessly face up to top of the range petrol models, with a superb 29.8 seconds for the 1000m standing start. Just the same on overtaking: the standard version is deposed, a handicap that it cannot make up for in top speed since the Power System flies along at 133.5 miles/h both on the flat and on the coast. This is its greatest characteristic: the willing box allows you to keep your speed steady whatever the terrain, without adverse effects on consumption or noise levels. A great success.
