About the Peugeot 205 T16 #3 B. Darniche / A. Mahe Rally Ypres 1985 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Peugeot 205 T16 reproduces car #3, driven by veteran French champion Bernard Darniche and A. Mahe at the 1985 Rally Ypres. The turbocharged, mid-engine, four-wheel-drive 205 T16 stood among Group B's most dominant designs.

Peugeot's 205 T16 looked almost nothing like the road-going hatchback it borrowed its name from, and that difference was entirely the point.

Darniche's Experience Behind Peugeot's Group B Weapon

The Peugeot 205 T16 relocated its turbocharged engine to a mid-mounted position and added four-wheel drive, a combination that helped Peugeot's works team dominate World Rally Championship competition through the mid-1980s, winning manufacturers' and drivers' titles as Group B reached its technical peak. Bernard Darniche, a multiple French rally champion with decades of competition experience by the time Group B arrived, brought genuine veteran credibility to the 205 T16 program at events like Rally Ypres, a Belgian round known for tight, technical closed-road stages that rewarded precision as much as raw power. The car's boxy, heavily flared bodywork bore only superficial resemblance to the road-going 205 hatchback, reflecting how completely Group B regulations allowed manufacturers to reinvent a production shape for competition.

IXO's Group B Catalog Depth

IXO's rally catalog covers Group B's most significant cars extensively, and the 205 T16's flared arches and prominent intake vents come through with real clarity in 1:18 diecast. The Ypres livery's team colors and number placement document a specific event within Peugeot's dominant mid-1980s campaign, useful for any collector building a season around actual results.

A Dominant Design From Rallying's Peak Era

This 205 T16 belongs among Group B's most significant subjects, a car that reshaped what a rally weapon could be.
