The Peugeot 205 was for many years one
of the best hatchbacks you could buy. Although contested by VW Golf
fans, the 205 GTi versions set the standard in hot hatch dynamics.
The 205 is still a winner on road and track.
Introduced in 1983 as a 5 door hatchback,
3 door versions arrived in 1984.
Initially, chain driven overhead camshaft
engines were fitted, with the engine mounted over the transmission.
The 1.6 GTi arrived in 1984, with a fuel injected belt driven overhead
cam engine.
1986 saw the CTi and 1.9 GTi arrive. In 1987
the TU belt driven overhead cam engines were fitted to all models except the
GTi and diesels. Diesel and Turbodiesel models are also available.
All models have independent front suspension
and rear semi-independent trailing arm suspension with torsion bars.
