Peugeot 208 T16 Pikes Peak tech specs

Peugeot has revealed more about the 208 T16 Pikes Peak that Sébastien Loeb will be driving at the Colorado event in June.

While the mid-rear engine layout has been inspired by the infamous 205 T16 Group B rally car from the 1980s, many of the components are derived from the more recent 908 endurance racer.

They include not only the 3.2 litre V6 bi-turbo engine, transmission and air intake, but also the huge rear wing that should generate plenty of downforce.

As suspected, the carbon fibre bodywork encloses a steel spaceframe chassis. It’s a combination that makes the 208 T16 extremely light and helps produce some very impressive acceleration figures.
