604 VERSIONS
Among the very first cars to receive the PRV: the elegant 504 Coupé & Cabriolet and the big 604 saloon — at least five different PRV models were on sale before the end of 1975. The 505 V6 later carried the lion's V6 up to 170 bhp.
The coupé and cabriolet took the carburetted 2,664 cc PRV (code ZM) — the most graceful way to travel behind the Douvrin V6 in the 1970s.
The flagship declined the PRV across its whole career: SL on carburettors (ZM·ZMS, 136 bhp), Ti and STI on K-Jetronic injection (ZMJ, 144 bhp), GTI up to 155 bhp (ZNJ, 2,849 cc).
The most powerful of the three: the 2,849 cc ZN3J with LH-Jetronic injection — the same engine that also served in the Lancia Thema 6V.
The lion's V6 story continued with the 605 — including the 200 bhp 24-valve SV24 — covered in the 605 & XM file.
Every variant, from the 136 bhp carburetted ZM to the 170 bhp ZN3J of the 505, is detailed code by code in the Peugeot codes file.
Fun fact: a member of this engine family — the 130 bhp ZMJ-159 — powers the DeLorean DMC-12 of Back to the Future.
The 605 and the Citroën XM — the PSA era of the PRV, up to 200 bhp.
