Peugeot has unveiled the all-electric E-T16 concept car at the 2026 Paris motor show, producing over 800hp.
Peugeot has unveiled the all-electric E-T16 concept at the 2026 Paris motor show as both a preview of the next-generation E-208 electric hatch and an all-electric tribute to the 205 Turbo 16, which won multiple titles during rallying's most infamous era. The ultra-aggressively styled all-wheel drive concept is described by Peugeot as the 'ultimate vision of the future E-208', with the new small hatchback expected to be unveiled in the first half of 2027.
The E-T16 concept is the most powerful road-going Peugeot developed since the brand began making cars in 1889, producing 816hp. It is inspired by Peugeot's 205 T16 Group B homologation special. Group B rallying between 1982 and 1986 is regarded as the sport's wildest era, with cars boasting Formula 1 levels of power, but the category was marred by several competitor and spectator deaths. Peugeot was required to produce 200 road-going homologation T16s for sale, introduced in 1984, which are now highly prized collector's items.
Australian availability of any future Peugeot models remains uncertain after local importer Inchcape announced in July 2026 it was handing back distribution rights to Peugeot parent company Stellantis after almost a decade, with a new distributor yet to be confirmed.
