The best 11 minutes of my day were spent watching this video
Peugeot 205 Turbo 16
I fired up my Playstation 3 today for the first time since we moved, have been playing Gran Turismo 5 for few hours. I think I’ll start posting real life pictures of some of the game’s awesome cars, starting with the Peugeot I just finished driving.
The Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 was a Group B homologation car, and as such it is both special and rare. Peugeot made 200 of the road going cars, which shared nothing but appearance with is moire mundane Peugeot 205 siblings.
The Turbo 16 version came with a 200 horse power engine that was transversaly mounted in the middle of the car. With four wheel drive, a short wheelbase and low weight the car was a blast to drive, much like any other Group B homologation car.
I wish the FIA would start requiring the manufacturers to build homologation cars again…
