Peugeot 205 GTI with F1 Technology // 280Hp/620Kg Monster - Retro Rides 2017

This Peugeot 205 is one of the all time legends of British Hillclimbing as it was developed in the 90´s by two F1 engineers at Bennetton, Willem Toet and Richard Marshall.

Used as test-bed for technology that would later be used on the F1 cars driven at the time by Michael Schumacher, this little Monster would go on to punch well above its weight in the 90´s, while debuting technologies like Traction Control , making it devastatingly fast in the wet for example.

Recovered now by the Balster family and brought up to speed mechanically with the help of Dialynx Performance, this pocket rocket now has around 280Hp/8.500Rom to move only 620Kg and appeared on the last edition of Retro Rides Gathering 2017 to impress the crowds at Shelsley Walsh.
