“We’ve fought hard, on so many roads, so many circuits, and in so many disciplines. We’ve targeted every title. We’ve become champions. So why put ourselves on the line again? Why risk everything again? Because challenge is what we’re all about. We are Team PEUGEOT Total. We are #BornReady.”

Following its recent successes in the Dakar Rally, Team PEUGEOT Total is challenging itself to lead the field in a new adventure: the FIA World Rallycross Championship (WRX), which places the PEUGEOT brand in a young discipline as spectacular as it is competitive.

Humble but determined, the whole PEUGEOT SPORT team, led by its talented drivers, Sébastien Loeb and Timmy and Kevin Hansen, at the wheel of an all-new racing machine – the PEUGEOT 208 WRX – is throwing itself into this challenge with passion and ambition.

PEUGEOT 208 WRX, HERE AND READY TO RACE

PEUGEOT SPORT’s engineers worked tirelessly to develop a new racing car, the PEUGEOT 208 WRX, based on the standard model and commercial success, the PEUGEOT 208. With its four-wheel drive, 560 hp, 1,300 kg and 850 Nm of torque, the 208 WRX can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 2 seconds.

Weight, engine, shock absorption, suspension, gear changes and aerodynamics: every area was worked on and developed, and will be upgraded regularly throughout the season. The goal is more power and performance.

The PEUGEOT 208 WRX will be unmissable on the circuit thanks to three distinctive liveries: blue #9 for Sébastien Loeb, grey #21 for Timmy Hansen, and yellow #71 for Kevin Hansen.
