"The Peugeot 208 T16 was built for one reason alone: to snatch the unlimited record for the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb from Suzuki next month. Before the car gets packed up for the trip stateside, Sebastien Loeb gave it a thorough caning on Mont Ventoux in the south of France. It was the debut of the car&amp;#039;s final race livery, and it&amp;#039;s all on video, as you&amp;#039;ll see below.  Peugeot Sport, as you know, tapped nine-time WRC champion to attack the mountain and provide a link back to the last time Peugeot raced to the clouds in 1988. That&amp;#039;s when WRC Champion Ari Vatanen drove the 405 T16, as beautifully captured in the short film, &amp;quot; Cloud Dance.&amp;quot; And as shown in the photo album linked above, the old 405 pulled alongside the new 208 for some side-by-side glamour shots.  To recap, the Peugeot 208 T16 is a mid-engined 4WD car whose 875 horsepower only needs to move 1,929 pounds. That&amp;#039;s F1-grade muscle in this little carbon fiber hatchback.  Sure, some still lament that the fully-paved course will never match the old dirt road, but Loeb, in this car, should put on a hell of a show.       Andrea Cairone publishes Axis of Oversteer.
