Unlike the standard Peugeot 205, Turbo 16 is posterior and all -wheel drive. It is equipped with a 200-horsepower turbochart and can develop 220 km/h. In the United Kingdom, the Peugeot 205 1984 was exhibited for the RM Sotheby's auction. The car is planned to receive £ 180-220 thousand ($ 210,000-250,000). About it reports the official website of the auction house. The fact is that the hammer will not be a simple in-class hatchback, but a very rare version of Peugeot 205 Turbo 16.

In fact, it is a serial version of a rail car and it is radically different from the standard 205. In total, only 200 Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 was released - just as many cars are needed to allow the model to the Cup with Rally. The car was attended by the body of Heuliez. The PEUGEOT 205 design was seriously redesigned. To begin with, the engine is installed not in front, but behind, as well as in the rail version. The engine itself is also special-1. 8-liter four with turbocharging develops 200 hp.

With a 5-speed mechanical checkpoint from Citroen SM, the charged hatchback accelerates to 100 km/h in 6. 6 seconds and develops 220 km/h, that is, it was very fast for its time-at the Porsche level of 911 years. In addition, Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 is all -wheel drive. It was this hatchback that has been very well preserved, because the current owner has kept it in the garage for the last 18 years and rarely traveled to roads. The car runs - 40 thousand km.
