Rally cars

First came the Peugeot 307 and then came the real rally car: the Peugeot 307 WRC. The Peugeot 307 WRC has been built for the ultimate challenge, which is the World Rally Championships. Conceptualized and developed at the Velizy Motorsport plant, the Peugeot 307 WRC was brought to life by a dedicated team of engineers, designers, and other workmen.

The Peugeot 307 WRC is considered an innovation because it is enabled with a number of technically advanced features. One of the most prominent features is the gearbox, which is a Hewland 5-speed and has not been longitudinally mounted as in the Peugeot 206 WRC. One of the advanced features is the XU7JP4 engine block. It is an all-aluminum unit that packs a punch with the 2.0-litre engine, which can produce a maximum power of 300bhp at 5,250 rpm with a torque of 391 lb-ft at 3,500 rpm. Now that’s what we call a really wild horse!
