600+Hp Peugeot 205 T16 Evo 2 || Group B Monster with Pikes Peak Version Engine

We have featured Jean Duby´s Peugeot 205 T16 Evo 2 before, alongside Sebastien Loeb´s Peugeot 208 T16 in a comparison video, but it´s now time to show this Monster by itself as it quite the unique unit even among the normal standards of this Group B Monster.
This is Chassis C216 and was raced by Michele Mouton and Juha Kankkunen on 1986 on Tour de Corse and the 1000 Lakes Rally respectively. After the end of Group B it would be transformed into a Rallycross Car, although even more important than that, was that it was fitted with a 1.9L Turbocharged from a Pikes Peak-spec 205 T16. Producing between 550Hp-700Hp depending on boost, it is quite the unique Monster and it was possible to observe up and close on the Montée des Lègendes 2018 event on France.

Always loved the look of the 205's and still do.

[@LowEndPCGamer100]

all old hot hatches look great to me, from the 205s, deltas, all the way to the golfs, they all had a sleek look to them, and their size made them fun to drive. one day im gonna get me a 205 t16, and drive it to work!

[@nastyd0llar]

I remember my dad taking my brother and i one day for a ride in this exact same car as a surprise. He took that car for a day from peugeot la garenne 92 france where he was working. The car was parked in our underground parking lot. I remember the rear view of the car with that massive rear wing taking the whole width of the parking space. I sat on my brothers lap for that ride, with the engine roaring right behind our seat. We took a bridge called viaduc gambetta which was linking courbevoie to la defense at the time.. everybody was pulling to the right to let that beast pass them and have a look a it. This memory is engraved in my mind to this day. Thank you dad. I love you.

[@matthewchandler2647]

Wow, I could only watch VHS video of Group B from Canada because there was no TV station that would broadcast it live, and those sights and sounds literally imprinted on my soul. But your Dad took you for a ride in one?!?!? OMG that would have blown my mind! You are one lucky man! Even today when I my thoughts drift, I often find myself reminiscing about the Group B days. It’s cliche to say “they don’t make them like they used to”, but… they just don’t!

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Depending on boost, it can achieve over 700+Hp (although Turbo Lag will be absurd.... )

[@gqh007]

1980s 1.9 liter 600 hp is different from modern 1.9 liter 600 hp. Lighter and stronger components better lubrication. However, I bet that 1980s engine must be a hand full and a half and pretty fun to drive.

"pure efficency" dude read that word again... Group B and petrol engines are not "efficient" They lost near 40% of its power by thermal loses... Electric engine is the most efficient, it only lost 1% by wheel friction.

[@zenoofcitium1894]

Rally version engine of Peugeot 205 t16 evo 2 was actually producing around 450-480 bhp in 1986, but if I remember it right, the power was reduced to 400 bhp for Rally of Sweden 1986 and the weight increased to about a ton.

[@matthewchandler2647]

As a kid whenever I’d watch Group B with my Dad I would sing “Snap Crackle Pop, Rice Krispies!” every time we’d hear the Peugeot on overrun, it literally sounded like pouring milk on Rice Krispies!

[@franckrodi5716]

I had the chance to get into this same 205 Turbo 16 from Vatanen in 1987 (or 88) with a person who worked at Peugeot Talbot Sport and who was also in charge of testing the new Peugeot cars before their releases. He had an exemption to take the road with this monster, he came to a campsite near Pontoise (France) where he had his caravan and I had mine. He told me it belonged (at the time) to Jean Tod. He tuned the 205 T16 between 500hp and 600hp, we went to test it on the small country roads at around 180Km/h in certain places! A monster of power! An unforgettable memory. J'ai eu la chance de monter dans cette même 205 Turbo 16 de Vatanen en 1987 (ou 88) avec une personne qui travaillait chez Peugeot Talbot Sport et qui avait aussi en charge d'essayer les nouvelles autos Peugeot avant leurs sorties. Il a eu une dérogation pour prendre la route avec ce monstre, il est venu dans un camping proche de Pontoise (France) ou il avait sa caravane et moi la mienne. Il m'a dit qu'elle appartenait (à l'époque) à Jean Tod. Il a réglé la 205 T16 entre 500ch et 600ch, nous sommes allés l'essayer sur les petites routes de campagne à environ 180Km/h à certain endroit ! Un monstre de puissance ! Un souvenir inoubliable.

I've got to say that the engine is the worst looking of the whole group B, but probably the most efficient. At the end, it won several championships xd

Can´t really argue with such results ;)

[@thiscocks]

Looks no worse than the Delta S4 engine compartment

[@thomas-ud1fs]

Only negative I've read was that it would gyro the car badly in the air.

[@sometimesidreamaboutcheese]

Center of mass was shifted to the right side by few %, because of that 205 was tricky and unstable into air jumps. In terms of balance it was worse than Delta S4, but S4 was sharp at landing after jumps, because of some little details of awsome suspesion

Glad to see Group B cars driven the way they are meant to and not ending up as garage queens.However,as appealing as they are,they are rally legends,but when it comes to hillclimb,there are cars that will never be outshined by Group B,despite i like both equally.When you think better,modern day hillclimb monsters are like Group b back in the day,only with more power and grip.

[@mionellessi3086]

You are right. For example Schagerl's Golf. Looks like Group B car with a good aero.

[@hillclimbracingfan5821]

@@mionellessi3086 Yeah,it sure does.Sometimes i don't understand why people put down amazing hillclimb builds when there is Group B car shown in same video,even when that car is much faster.Instead of giving credit for hard work that gone into it people rather talk bad about it and praise Group b to the sky.

Glorious. And sporting the banned-in-period aero side skirts too, I believe? Whilst the Quattro may have beat it on engine note, I think the T16 was the best looking Group B car.

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Very well noticed 😉

[@supersonic1246]

Quattro was good, but didn't beat T16 really , you can't mess with a front-engined rallyecar against a mid-engined counterpart cause the center of gravity ... ! even in engine-note ,, the compareable acceleration from five-cylinder is weaker than four-cylinder cause revelations are rising quicker , you've shorter camshafts and crankshaft , lower masses to move and less inner friction than a five-cylinder .. !! even horsepower was nearly equal, T16 had same as Audi at least over 500 HP ! anyway , Quattro was good, specially when driven by RÖHRL !! grets from germany

Does anybody know, how many Pikes Peak versions were approximately made? Comments under videos say that Matti Alamäki also raced Pikes Peak version in European Rallycross events (at least in 1990). Is this the same car or not? I wonder...

[@HillClimbMonsters]

This is not the same car as Alamaki raced, that would be chassis C209 if we are not mistaken 👍 But regarding the number of Pikes Peak versions built, it is super hard to reply as those cars were converted Evo 2´s which after racing on Pikes Peak were then converted into Rallycross cars in some cases, others dismantled and others reconverted into works-spec Evo 2´s.
