1997 Peugeot 306 WRC (Phase I)

Last crawled date: 1 year, 11 months ago

This low-poly car is the Peugeot 306 WRC version. The 306 was the replacement for the Peugeot 309 (which had broken with Peugeot's normal ascending numbering system partly due to its being released before the older Peugeot 305 was axed). Mechanically, the 306 is virtually identical to the Citroën ZX, which was launched two years before the 306: both cars use the same floorpan and core structure. The 306, with its attractive Peugeot 205 derived Pininfarina styling, was a more successful car than its twin. The Citroen Berlingo and Peugeot Partner were also built on the same platform. The chassis used by the 306 and ZX was also used in the ZX's replacement, the Citroën Xsara. The sharing of platforms between Peugeot and Citroën has been parent company PSA Peugeot Citroën policy since the late 1970s, after the Peugeot takeover of the then bankrupt Citroen in the wake of the 1974 oil crisis. The first car being the Peugeot 104 based Citroen Visa and Citroën LNA. The policy continues today with the Peugeot 107, Citroen C1 and Toyota Aygo. #1990s #306 #4_Cylinder #4WD #5door #Automobile #Car #French #Hatchback #Peugeot #Peugeot_306 #Phase_1 #Rally #Transportation #Vehicle #WRC
