Peugeot was in a tough spot when the 206 was launched in 1999, mainly from superminis like the Ford Fiesta or Volkswagen Polo. The unique approach of Peugeot's 206 was that it would not directly replace the 205, instead it was designed to be a bridge between the smaller Peugeot 106 and the larger range of 306. This was so that the lower models of the 306 and 106 might take sales away from the higher quality 205s.
The 206 model range includes a hatchback, a 2-door coupe cabriolet, and an a-station wagon referred to as the 206 C and 206 SW, respectively. The 207 GTi was a WRC homologated variant of 206 that could accelerate from 100 km/h to 0 in just 7.4 seconds, and reach the speed of 210 km/h.
