Overview
The Peugeot 306 Maxi was developed under the FIA’s Formula 2 (F2) Kit Car regulations, which emphasized front-wheel drive, naturally aspirated engines, and minimal weight. Introduced in 1996 and refined through the end of the decade, the 306 Maxi became a tarmac terror — famously challenging and even beating WRC cars on twisty asphalt stages. With aggressive aero, a high-revving engine, and masterful suspension tuning, it redefined what a two-wheel-drive car could do in rallying.
