Peugeot 205 GTI Restomod: Sport gets a second life

Peugeot 205 GTI Restomod: With the e-Legend prototype, Peugeot managed to mix clothes from the future and the past. A much more subtle exercise in styling than the R5 Turbo 3E. But the lion mark could also have given way, Restomod-style.

Fashion is at Restomod! This trend, which totally plays on the nostalgic fiber, awakens buried memories in young and old alike and is a sure way to reassure yourself. Last example to date, the Renault R5 Turbo 3E that summons the bestiality of the Maxi 5 of Group B updated in digital and especially electric mode.

A machine also surfing in the half century of the Renault 5. What if, through an interposed stand, in mid-October the lion brand embarked on this adventure of rebirthing an ancient glory?

No need to go get a Peugeot 205 Turbo 16, the Peugeot Design Lab has already taken care of that to participate in the Cyber ​​Punk 2077 video game, no, a wiser but no less iconic Peugeot 205 GTI, the 1.9 with its wheels holes would make very good.

The idea was to keep, at the top, the charismatic lines of the 205 GTI, while at the bottom we could give free rein to the aggressive lines of the 9X8 hypercar dictated by aerodynamics.

This is how this Peugeot 205 GTI Restomod was virtually born. A front with the light signature of the future, with the three claws on each headlight, fog lights with a high-tech look. And of course, the new logos in the center of what's left of the grille as on the front fenders.

Ground clearance is reduced, unlike the diameter of the rims, taking up with a dark veil the Peugeot 205 GTI Griffe path, the now legendary design of the GTI 1.9. To subtly modernize the car's lines, door handles and a pair of mirrors ripped from the current 208 and that's it. And under the hood? No 156-hp electric motor like the one in the new e-208, and here we leave it to you to judge what should be accommodated.
