About the Peugeot 208 T16 Pikes Peak S. Loeb Pikes Peak International Hill Climb Record 2013 AUTOart 1:18
TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 composite Peugeot 208 T16 recreates Sebastien Loeb's 2013 Pikes Peak record-setting entry, with opening doors and hood revealing the extreme race interior. Loeb's run set a benchmark time that stood as the outright course record for years. A landmark piece for a hillclimb collection.
Sebastien Loeb's 2013 run up Pikes Peak in the 208 T16 set a benchmark that redefined what a purpose-built hillclimb car could achieve, and AUTOart's composite construction gives that record-setting machine the material treatment its extreme engineering deserves.
Composite Construction for an Extreme Race Machine
This model pairs a metal body with finely detailed separate parts, a composite approach that suits the 208 T16's combination of aggressive aerodynamic bodywork and an intricate, stripped race interior. The doors and hood open to reveal a cockpit built entirely around the driver and roll cage, with none of the trim a road car carries, and the composite build lets AUTOart render that interior with a level of separately molded detail a single-material casting could not match as convincingly. The metal body carries real weight and holds the massive rear wing and front splitter with structural confidence, while the composite parts add sharpness to smaller aerodynamic elements. Diecast panel tolerances at the opening seams run slightly wider than a sealed resin body, a fair tradeoff given the genuine cockpit access this construction provides.
A Record-Setting Machine on a Hillclimb Shelf
At roughly 22 centimeters, the 208 T16's aggressive wing and splitter give it far more visual presence than a standard road-going 208 at the same scale. Pikes Peak's unique 156-turn course, climbing nearly 5,000 meters, demands a car built around specific extremes that road racing rarely requires, and Loeb's record run remains one of the event's defining modern achievements. Displayed open, the stripped interior and roll cage tell that extreme-engineering story directly. Paired with other Pikes Peak or hillclimb specials, this 208 T16 anchors a shelf built around one of motorsport's most singular and demanding disciplines.
