Peugeot 205 T16

I finally took some good pics of my friend's T16. This is a truly rare car in North America, maybe 2 or 3 are here. It sort of got in under 'Show & Display' rules (but best not to ask too many questions about that :D ).

The T16 is a homologation car with 200 examples being built to qualify for Gruppe B rally competition. It's based on the lowly front-engine, front wheel drive 205. But this is of course all wheel drive, mid-engine with a turbo 4-cylinder with 500HP in race trim. They dominated Gruppe B rallying for a couple of years. It is entirely handbuilt with lots of cool details. I've had the good fortune to put a few miles on this car out on the road - an awesome drive.

In competition. Jean Todt was pulling the strings behind the scene on this long before the Ferrari/Schumacher days:
