Peugeot 207 Super 2000 breaks cover

Peugeot is back on the bonkers pills with its 207 Super 2000. This four-wheel drive missile follows in the crazy tracks of the 205 T16 and 206 WRC.

With 280bhp and a rev limit of 8500rpm, this purpose-built rally machine will be available for customers to buy and campaign in national championships.

Peugeot is already testing the car on gravel and Tarmac, and they've even drafted in one of the craziest drivers, Gilles Panizzi, to do the driving.

Not quite as powerful or demented, but more affordable, the 207 GT Turbo goes on sale in the UK in November for £13,345.

This is the first model to use the new 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine developed jointly by Peugeot and BMW.

The 207 GT Turbo will only come as a three-door model, kitted out with 17in alloy wheels, half leather trim and a panoramic glass sunroof.
