Description

The Peugeot 106 Maxi was created by Jean Todt's Peugeot Sport to compete in WRC's notorious F2 Kit Car category of 2. 0lt naturally aspirated fwd cars. It entailed the incorporation of the 2. 0lt 306 Maxi technology into the longer S2 wheelbase of the already successful in Gr A and GrN 106 rallye. The result was an extreme car in both performance and appearance that would challenge the limits of FIA's F2 regulations. With 238 bhp at 9500 rpm from its 1. 6lt transmitted via a highly advanced sequential 6 speed to the front wheels of a wider track and longer wheelbase, the 106 Maxi was an exceptional tarmac racer that could match and occasionally outrun most of its 4wd turbocharged WRC competition. After Gilles Panizzi's, Francois Delacour's and Philippe Bugalski's winnings at Rally Catalunya and Tour de Corse, FIA felt that Kit Cars posed a serious threat to WRC competition and decided to initially limit their performance by air intake reduction and minimum weight increase and later ban their category to be replaced by the milder S2000 and S1600. Notably, the newly set parameters excluded the 106 Maxi from the S1600 category for its extreme engine output of 38 bhp over 200bhp limit and advanced sequential transmission. In response, Peugeot Sport refused to modify down its 106 Maxi to fit FIA's S1600 parameters and instead decided to seize production to only 40 Maxis ever made.
The 106 Maxi offered was built on a street legal 106 to Peugeot Sport S20 Maxi FIA A5565 specifications by Peugeot Sport experts, Citroenergy. The bare metal process entailed a total rebuilt using strictly Kit Car Peugeot Sport and Sparco supplied parts. Completed in 2016, the car was consequently tested (dyno video available) and raced in 2 hillclimb events in A/ 7 category prior to being stored and maintained as part of a private collection. It is now offered fully serviced and race ready with numerous parts.
