Peogeot '208' Flat Out 875bhp

Well okay it's a 208 T16 and not a bogo 208 GTI.

Watched this a while back but following a mention of the T16, decided to review it.

The Video is a bit long but driving is superb and you so don't want any blow outs.

It's amazing what 'little' 208 can do

The power to weight is amazing.

Yeah previous track was likely not suited to modern power levels.

They have been at around that power for some time. I think Rod Millens Celica in 2004 or 5 had 850+hp, and have gone up since. Couple of crazy Suzuki's with close to 1000hp all before the full tarmac course. It is a nuts race, massive hill and they lose power due to altitude as they go up.

How long Brigand until you have modded your 208 to be like this one?!

Yes have thought about it, due to go to Revolution in Gateshead in the New Year.

Looking at some suspension bits from Ultra Racing and likely a short shifter as well.

The engine power can be adult be taken to 245bhp, however I am happy (wife is happy) with 208 bhp.

Also waiting to see how a project to fit a LSD goes on (lad on the forum is looking at fitting)

So for now suspension components mainly ARB, Strut and chassis stuff.

Exhaust will stay as is, it's a small car and I don't want some stupid thing fitted.

Prefer handling over sound lol.

Loeb made it look so easy too as if he wasn't really trying that hard - great drive.
