Remastered version of a short film by Jean Louis Mourney featuring Ari Vatanen and Robby Unser driving up the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in the Peugeot 405 T16 GR.
One of the most famous hillclimb cars in Pikes Peak history is the Peugeot 405 T16 driven by Ari Vatanen to record-winning time of 10:47:77.
This 405 was unique at the the time because of its four wheel steering a feature never before done in a rally or hillclimb car. It was based off the earlier 1987 Peugeot 205 T16 Pikes Peak which was too short for long, open hillclimbs.
The engineers with Peugeot used a carbon-kevlar version of the 405's body overtop of a completely new chassis that made of sheet steel and tubular steel. The engine sat very low infront of the right rear wheel with the turbo charger on the opposite side.
The Grand Raid version of the car was originally built for the Paris-Dakar Rally and was modified with a huge rear wing and rear-wheel steering for its mountain-climb duty.
After it's incredible debut at Pike Peak, Peugeot again returned and won the event outright in 1989 with driver Robby Unser.
