After a 12-year absence from the WRC, French automobile manufacturer Peugeot decided that it was high time for them to return the most popular form of off-road motorsports in the world. The company chose to race their compact 206 model...and made the WRC regulations work to their advantage. The WRC rulebook at the time states that a vehicle must be at least 4 meters in length to be eligible, but the commercially-available 206 did not meet this requirement, so Peugeot sold a limited-edition 206GT, one with a longer bumper, to clear this hurdle.
