Official car, built with genuine 206 WRC parts Prestigious past and devastating looks Motorized Show car The 206 WRC left the workshops in Vélizy in 1999 and made its competitive debut at the Tour of Corsica. It is equipped with a 4-cylinder 2-liter turbocharged engine developing 300 bhp, combined with a 6-speed sequential gearbox and all-wheel drive. A worthy heir to its predecessor, it will mark the beginning of the 2000s by claiming 24 WRC victories. Marcus Grönholm will be world champion at its wheel in 2000 and 2002, and Peugeot Sport will win the manufacturer’s title in 2000, 2001 and 2002. It will be replaced in 2004 by the 307 WRC, which will not enjoy the same success. The example we are presenting is a show car equipped with an engine. Made with real parts from Peugeot Sport, it was used by the manufacturer during various events to promote the 206 WRC.
