This year, you know that the Peugeot 205 celebrates the 40th anniversary of a career that has not yet ended. Indeed, one that has become one of the most popular youths, namely the 205 GTI, brings us back to the nostalgia of the 80s and 90s with the three letters “GTI”. Our friend Nicolas Tariq, founder of the Mécanique Sportive YouTube channel, has brought together two unique 205 GTIs, a 1.9 l Griffe GTI and another with the famous Dimma Design body kit. Something to celebrate, with beauty and power, the memory of the “Holy Number”.
In the “lineage” of the Peugeot 205 GTI, the 1.9 l Griffe is known as one of the rarest, knowing that only 1,652 copies were produced, out of the 3,000 originally planned. The Peugeot 205 GTI with “Vert Fluorite” highlights is a more luxurious version than the standard 205 GTI 1.9 l. Regarding the Design 205 GTI 1.9 l Dimma, know that Peugeot has officially supported this body kit project with very interesting features.
