206

In 2001, Tecnitoys marketed three different versions of the Peugeot 206. Two individual models with references 6064 and 6068, and another one with a mud effect identical to reference model 6064 that came in the Copa circuit set together with reference model 6051 from the previous year. This reference model 6064 in silver grey, #10 with "ESSO" livery, bears the Network Q Rally decal and the names of M.Gronholm and T.Rautiainen on the rear windows, and is a replica of the real car that competed in that rally in 2000.

The Peugeot 206 represented the transition from front-wheel drive cars like the 306 Maxi to an authentic World Rally Car with four-wheel drive and a 2-litre turbo engine producing around 300 HP. Compact, agile and technologically advanced, it introduced active differentials and carefully studied aerodynamics, marking a radical leap from its predecessors and becoming a world champion car already in 2000, driven by Gronholm and Rautiainen. In the 2000 Network Q Rally of Great Britain, both crew members at the wheel of a Peugeot 206 WRC from the Peugeot Esso team achieved second place. Tecnitoys replicated that car for its reference models 6064 and 8048A.
