“I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back home. They're not much bigger than two meters. “

Peugeot t16 (1984)

The Group B competition version of the 205 T16 won 16 rallies and dominated the 1985 and 1986 seasons by taking the drivers' and constructors' championships. But before this, at the 1984 Geneva Motor Show, Peugeot had unveiled the road-going customer version of the T16, commonly called the ‘Serie 200’ cars.These lightweight cars shared the architecture of the competition version, with a mid-engined layout. The 1.8-litre 16-valve, four-cylinder XU-type engine was fitted with a turbocharger that increased the power to 200bhp – half of the 400bhp of the competition version, but more than enough for owners to enjoy driving it. This all-wheel-drive car was also known for being fun and relatively forgiving to drive.
