The Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 is sometimes referred to as the 'ultimate rally car'. It was originally designed to compete in the World Rally Championship's legendary Group B category. Group B regulations were officially implemented in 1983, and at the time, only 200 of a model were required for Group B homologation within 12 months. No commitment to mass production of road versions meant that manufacturers could make bold decisions on development. And the choice made by Peugeot, was to mount a powerful turbocharged engine midship, combined with 4WD. At that point, the other teams in Group B hadn't yet adopted the configuration, which initially gave Peugeot an advantage. The Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 made its debut in the middle of the 1984 season, and it immediately proved itself to be effective, winning the World Rally Championship title in 1985 and 1986.
