Otto Mobile 1/18 Peugeot 405 T16 Gr.S 1988

In the 1980s, the FIA was already working on post-Group B. The idea was to produce rally cars that were even more extreme, even more powerful, even more unique! It is with this idea that the foundations of Groupe S were laid. Some manufacturers were already working on prototypes to be presented. Audi, Ford and Lancia were among the first to unveil their Group S. Then, it was Peugeot's turn. The desire of the French brand was to continue the success of the 205 T16 with its new flagship model, the 405! This is how the 405 T16 Gr.S was presented at trade shows. Unfortunately, at the end of ‘86, the FIA put an end to Group B following the many fatal accidents of the season. It also buried Group S and its cars which would immediately go to museums.
