The Origins of the Peugeot 306 Maxi

The Peugeot 306 Maxi originated from the second generation of the Peugeot 306, produced from 1993 to 2001. This model was developed to make Peugeot competitive in the fiercely contested Kit-Car category of the Rally World Championship (WRC). The 306 Maxi was a highly modified version of the 306, designed with a focus on lightweight construction and performance. Equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that delivered an incredible 280 horsepower, the car impressed with its superior traction control and excellent driving characteristics. The 306 Maxi was developed under the leadership of Chief Engineer Jean-Pierre Nicolas and his design team, which included Gérard Welter.
