Peugeot marks its return to the famous Pikes Peak Hill climb in the US with its 208 T16. If that’s got you jumping, wait till you hear that nine-time World Rally champion Sebastien Loeb (after an authorization from Citroen of course) has accepted to pilot the 208 T16 for the event at Colorado Springs.

Peugeot is no stranger to this event and having won it in both 1988 and 1989 they know exactly how difficult it is. It’s been a while and Loeb who is a master at driving through varied terrains will tackle the 20km, 156 turns hill climb for the first time in his career. The Peugeot 208 T16 Pikes Peak has been entered into the ‘Unlimited’ class and come June we will see it vrooming its way up to the finish.
