Description
The Peugeot 205 T16 Group B Rally Car Enthusiast's Manual offers a unique insight into the design, engineering, and competition history of Peugeot's World Championship-winning rally car. Produced between 1984 and 1986, the 205 T16 was a turbocharged four-wheel-drive car that dominated the rally stages, winning 16 World Championship rallies and lifting both the manufacturers' and drivers' titles in 1985 and 1986. The car's success was not just due to its performance, but also to its innovative design and engineering. The original 205 T16 was followed by the revised 'E2' model, which incorporated various revisions to increase power output to 550bhp. The car's legacy continued beyond the cancellation of Group B, with Peugeot modifying three 205 T16s to compete in the Pikes Peak Hillclimb and the Paris-Dakar rally, winning in 1987 and 1988. This manual provides a detailed look at the 205 T16, with input from the drivers and engineers involved. It is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of rallying and the Peugeot 205 T16, and is sure to be a valuable resource for enthusiasts and collectors.
