About the Peugeot 405 T16
The Peugeot 405 T16 was a sophisticated homologation special designed to celebrate the brand's dominance at Pikes Peak and the Paris-Dakar Rally. It features a permanent all-wheel-drive system with a 53/47 torque split and a self-levelling hydraulic rear axle derived from the Citroën BX. The XU10J4TE engine utilizes a Garrett VAT25 variable-geometry turbocharger, providing a temporary overboost from 196 hp to 220 hp for up to 45 seconds. Visually discrete, it is distinguished from the Mi16 by its unique 16-inch five-spoke wheels and deeper front apron, offering a refined yet potent alternative to the era's more aggressive sports saloons.
