The Peugeot 206 represented for Peugeot the transition from front-wheel drive like the 306 Maxi to a true World Rally Car with all-wheel drive and a 2-liter turbo engine with around 300 horsepower. Compact, agile, and technologically advanced, it introduced active differentials and carefully engineered aerodynamics, marking a radical leap compared to its predecessors. In 2002, Richard Burns and Robert Reid, driving a Peugeot 206 WRC for the Peugeot Total team, achieved fourth place in the 51 Uddeholm Swedish Rally. This car served as the model for Tecnitoys' reference 6109.
