Peugeot is returning to the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/pikes+peak) this year after a 14-year absence, and it has begun teasing the 208 T16 that Sébastien Loeb (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/loeb/) will be piloting up the mountain. Sporting a carbon fiber effects package that you won't find on the dealership floor nor at your local tuner, even the cockpit is a surprise since it features a central driving position.
Waging war in the Unlimited Class, it will have gobs of power underhood, the number 208 on its sides and two self-locking diffs to get power to the proper wheels. The entire route is paved this year, but Loeb has proved he knows how to handle tarmac in a variety of circumstances: after taking third in the French GT Championship last year, he entered the FIA GT series this year and won the opening race of the season earlier this month in a McLaren MP4-12C (http://www.autoblog.com/mclaren/mp4-12c/).
