Peugeot waves the IRC flag
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past year (or are unfortunate enough not to have cable or be awake at 3am for the broadcast), you would know that the Intercontinental Rally Championship is the most exciting thing to hit the world rally scene since, well, the WRC.
lat year, the title was taken by a Brit called Kris Meeke in a Peugeot 207 hatch. And just like Citroen with Seb Loeb’s fifth world title, the carmaker is celebrating with a limited edition livery for the roadgoing version of the same car.
The 207 S16 edition is actually a Sport spec 1.6-litre 207, tarted up with a new mesh grille, small rear diffuser, unique alloys, full-sic dark tint, some badges, and a signature from Meeke himself. And, if you like, a wild red, white and blue Griffin-themed vehicle wrap.
A run of 250 cars in the UK will sell for £14,695 (US$23,375), which is barely £600 more than the standard mid-spec version. Which may be worth the spend for some French drivers who want to stick it to the Brits on their own roads…
