Peugeot 208 T16 Attacks Pikes Peak with 875 HP, or 1HP per Kg! [w/Videos]
Peugeot has finally revealed technical specs of its 208 T16 Pikes Peak car, which will be driven by rally legend Sébastien Loeb in the “Race to the Clouds†climb on June 30. Since Peugeot Sport’s objective is to win the race, the car it will throw in the competition is one hardcore beast, to say the least. Its mid-mounted engine is a bi-turbo V6 derived from the unit in the Peugeot 908 endurance car and develops 875 horsepower - more than a Formula 1 car can brag about. To put it into context, the 208 T16 Pikes Peak tips the scales at 875 kilograms (1,929 pounds), which means the car has an outstanding power-to-weight ratio of 1 horsepower per kilogram!
