Peugeot 106
Less car.
On purpose.
2,798,200 Peugeot 106s were built in twelve years. Most were ordinary. A few were built to be raced. This is the file on all of them.
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.
