About the Peugeot 307 WRC Monte Carlo �05
Introduced at the 2003
Frankfurt Motor Show, the Peugeot 307 took over from the 206 in World Rally
Championship racing in 2004. Based on the high-end 307 CC (Coupe-Cabriolet)
version, but with fixed roof and front, transverse-mounted 2.0 liter 300hp
engine, Peugeot has produced a worthy successor to triple world champion 206. A
notable difference with the 206 is the rear, transverse-mounted 5-speed gearbox,
in contrast with the 206�s longitudinal one. The 307 took some time to come into
its own during its first season in 2004, winning only one round in Finland. The
2005 season has been a hard-fought one as well, with Peugeot 307 driver M.
Gronholm taking three 2nd place finishes and winning the Finland Rally. Peugeot
is currently running neck-and-neck with fierce rival Citroen for top spot in the
Manufacturers� Standings, and with both teams ending WRC involvement this year,
the remaining 6 rallies are sure to be packed with nail-biting excitement!
