Peugeot 205 T16 by Graham Robson Pdf

Four-wheel-drive was authorised in rallying from 1979, but for a time no serious car-manufacturer even tried to harness it to their cars. Soon, though, it was Audi who produced the world s first rally-winning four-wheel-drive car the Quattro. However it was Peugeot who designed, developed, campaigned and won with the first truly sophisticated four-wheel-drive Group B Car the 205 Turbo 16. It was the first truly great, purpose-designed, Group B car. Determined to win at almost any cost, Peugeot hired Jean Todt (who would later transform the fortunes of the Ferrari F1 organisation) in 1981, and set him an ambitious target. His dream car had to be running in 1983, homologated in 1984, and capable of winning World Championships by 1985. Nothing, no excuses and no lack of application, was to get in the way of that. Apart from being obliged to use the silhouette of the still-secret new 205 road car, Todt was able ask for anything. Getting approval for whatever he needed and fast-tracking the engineering of the four-wheel-drive rally was not an issue in reaching one simple objective victory. This is precisely what was achieved. This book tells the detailed story, and lists all the cars, the influences, and the personalities behind a magnificent success story. No sooner had the new turbocharged, transverse-mid-engined car started competing than it was ready to win, yet its dominant career was cut short at the end of 1986 by an abrupt change in rallying regulations. Not only is the engineering story laid out in great detail, but the interaction between company personalities, super-star drivers (including Ari Vatanen) and the highly-charged atmosphere of motorsport at this time is all analysed. Because Group B was cancelled even before the 205 T16 had reached maturity, it went on to have a successful career in desert Raid rallies, and at Pike Peak in the USA, all of which is described in this amazingly authoritative study.Packed with illustrations, technical details, facts, figures and successes of this innovative car this book is a must for any rally fan.

Peugeot 205 T16 Group B Rally Car Enthusiast's Manual by Nick Garton Pdf

The Peugeot 205 T16 is the legendary Group B turbocharged four-wheel-drive rally car produced by Peugeot between 1984 and 1986. Between 1984 and 1986, 205 T16s won 16 World Championship rallies in the hands of Ari Vatanen, Timo Salonen, Juha Kankkunen and Bruno Saby, and lifted both the manufacturers' and drivers' titles in 1985 and 1986 in the hands of Timon Salonen and Juha Kankkunen, respectively, against strong opposition from Audi, Lancia, Ford and Austin-Rover. The car was used to extraordinary effect by Peugeot as a marketing tool for the 205 road car, and the project lifted Peugeot to become a mainstream manufacturer to rival the established brands worldwide. The original 205 T16 appeared on the rally stages in 1984, while the revised 'E2' was introduced partway through 1985. The 'E2' incorporated various revisions raising power output to 550bhp. After the cancellation of Group B at the end of 1986, Peugeot modified three 205 T16 cars to compete in the famous Pikes Peak Hillclimb, and later cars were modified to compete in the Paris-Dakar rally, winning in 1987 and 1988. The car also formed the basis of the '405 T16', which won the Paris-Daker for Peugeot in 1989 and 1990. Today, the appearance of 205 T16s is always eagerly anticipated at historic rally events, and motorsport retrospectives such as the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Peugeot 205 T16 Group B Rally Car Enthusiast's Manual chronicles the design, anatomy and operation of the 205 T16, with input from many of the drivers and engineers involved.

The original rally Quattro debuted in 1980, and was based on the road car, but with a highly tuned 300bhp engine. In 1981, Audi Quattro works driver Michele Mouton became the first woman to win a World Championship rally.

La Peugeot 205 et le sport by Frédérick Lhospied Pdf

Tout fut soigneusement pensé du départ, au temps où la 205 n'était encore qu'un vague projet nommé " M 24 ", pour faire de ce modèle une bonne petite voiture polyvalente. Mais à peine ébauchée que déjà ses pères songèrent aussi à en faire une petite sportive directement dérivée des versions de base, destinée à contrer la Golf GTI dont le succès agaçait bien des marques. A commencer par Peugeot. Mais ce n'est pas tout, un homme, qui avait déjà les pieds chez Peugeot voyait plus loin, plus grand. Pour lui, il fallait que la marque au lion s'engage franchement en compétition routière de très haut niveau, c'est-à-dire en Championnat du Monde des Rallyes. Rien de moins ! II en imagina tous les rouages de cet engagement. Pour cet homme, Jean Todt, une pareille entreprise basée sur le projet " M 24 ", qui deviendra 105, si elle réussit parfaitement comme il l'imagine, assurera à Peugeot gloire et prospérité pour longtemps. Pour mener son programme "M 24 Rallye " à bien, Jean Todt sut s'entourer d'une équipe de très grande valeur, et surtout convaincre les grands décideurs d'investir dans cette très onéreuse et folle aventure. Bien les en a pris de lui faire confiance. Avec la 205, Peugeot entama le dépoussiérage de son image, figée depuis de trop nombreuses années, la réussite de la 105 dans tous les domaines sera fulgurante. Dépassant même, et de beaucoup, les prévisions les plus optimistes. Certainement du jamais vu à ce niveau. Une réussite pareille n'est bien sûr pas due à la moindre part de hasard. Peugeot s'est donné du mal pour y parvenir. Les 205 de tous modèles envahirent progressivement les rues; quant aux GTI, elles comblèrent le cœur et les attentes des conducteurs dynamiques. Mieux encore, elles devinrent un must chic. Et choc, car l'engin était redoutable d'efficacité et de sûreté. Pendant ce temps, une version radicale de la 205, restée à jamais très rare, la Turbo 16 " série 100 ", donna naissance à des versions course absolument géniales de par leur conception inédite. Ces voitures pour la plupart réservées au nouveau service compétition de Peugeot nommé Peugeot- Talbot Sport, s'adjugeront par deux fois le Championnat du Monde des Rallyes pendant que celui-ci était disputé avec des Groupe B pour la course au titre par les plus grands teams usine. Si à vaincre sans péril on triomphe sans gloire, ce ne fut pas le cas de Peugeot- Talbot Sport avec ses redoutables 205 turbo 16 Evolution pilotées par des as parmi les as. Jamais Championnat du Monde des Rallyes n'avait connu pareille affluence de modèles différents mais tous très évolués. L'apothéose fut pendant la saison 1986 où après avoir remis son titre 1985 en jeu, Peugeot dut faire face à des attaques en règle de toute part. Pour la marque française qui domina son sujet d'une tête bien pleine et des épaules bien carrées, ces années 1985 et 1986 furent aussi le début d'une culture d'entreprise. Celle de la discipline rallye. Elle perdure aujourd'hui. Et de quelle façon ! Dans cet ouvrage vous trouverez l'étude et la génèse de la 205 de base, sans les qualités de laquelle la GTI ne serait pas devenue ce qu'elle est devenue: la meilleure de sa catégorie; mais surtout vous suivrez l'histoire de toutes les 105 sportives, de la GTI 1,6105 ch à la terrifique Turbo 16 de course dans ses multiples versions, en passant par les GTI 1.6115 ch,1.9130 ch, CTI, Rallye 1.3, etc. Toutes les 105 sportives, et uniquement sportives, sont dans cet ouvrage. Ce qui ne veut pas dire que vous n'y apprendrez rien sur leurs seeurs les plus sages. Au contraire. Bien sûr, la folle aventure en Championnat du Monde est longuement décortiquée et expliquée. Mais pas seulement, vous verrez, vous serez surpris par ce qu'a pu faire la 105. Cette histoire d'automobile, assurément l'une des plus belles, s'est écrite avec des gens de grande qualité qui ont mis tout leur savoir au service d'une marque qui le méritait bien. Ce qu'elle a fait depuis le prouve. Partie d'une petite voiture ambitieuse destinée à remplacer la 104 alors que tout allait au plus mal, Peugeot a fait une grande voiture de rallye indissociable de son image aujourd'hui. Epoque où tout va au mieux pour la marque. C'était comme un pari au départ.
