Le principe

A small car with a large argument.

Lightness is a kind of speed.

The Peugeot 106 arrived in September 1991: 3.56 metres long, from 790 kilograms, drawn by Laurent Rossi on a platform developed from the Citroën AX. It stayed on sale for twelve years.

It was the family’s second car and a taxi for the school run. In a few hands, and with the right engine, it was also one of the best small rally cars in Europe.
