31 Mar 2017|2,453 views
Ahead of the opening round of the FIA World Rallycross Championship this weekend, Sebastien Loeb and Timmy Hansen are to take the wraps off the all new, 2017-configuration Peugeot 208 WRX, which proudly boasts bold new livery and a strikingly aggressive look. Kevin Hansen, meanwhile, is fired up to start his maiden full campaign at the pinnacle of the sport behind the wheel of his 2016 plus-specification 208.
The 2017 Peugeot 208 WRX has evolved in several ways in relation to its predecessor. Every aspect of the car has been re-evaluated but the major changes have taken place underneath the bonnet, with the introduction of a one-piece engine sump. The 208 WRX is now at the maximum permissible width, with revised bodywork that incorporates various new aerodynamic elements. Particularly close attention has naturally been paid to the suspension and dampers as well.
The fast-approaching 2017 season promises to be competitive and thrilling in equal measure, with Audi and Volkswagen pledging manufacturer backing, joining Peugeot and Ford who are both already officially committed to the championship. Sebastien Loeb and Timmy Hansen have been tasked with scoring points for Team Peugeot Hansen at each of the 12 rounds on the calendar, which will visit three different continents and wind up in South Africa in mid November.
