Yesterday : Test Peugeot Talbot Sport 1985

When Peugeot presents its 205 Turbo 16, the revolution is underway. It is the first 4-wheel drive group B designed from the first sketches for competition. Under the impetus of Jean TODT, the Peugeot Talbot Sport team took advantage of all the freedoms of the nascent group B. From the first special stages in the World Championship during the Tour de Corse, the lioness revealed her potential. If he could not achieve the times achieved at the start of the event, Ari VATANEN will make up for it by winning three victories over the rest of the season.

The car presented by Alain MICHOULIER was built in January 1985 from the bare hull number 13 of the 200 series and brought into conformity with the Evo 1 hulls. It conforms to the models of the test and development cars used by Peugeot in 1984 It is in its state of construction and conforms to the first models of evolution 1 factory. Its engine develops at least 320 horsepower, scalable according to the pressure of the turbo. It is equipped with the famous DPV system.
