Peugeot and Citroën, together with Ford, were the pioneer brands in the construction of R5 category vehicles, one of the most demanded today. The 208 T16 R5, by Peugeot, and the DS3 R5, built by Citroën, have competed in numerous championships, both national and international.
As the months passed and, above all, the seasons, both units lagged behind due to their performance. Ford evolved its Fiesta, while other brands such as Hyundai, Volkswagen, Skoda released their respective models, much faster and more modern.
Time passes and, today, we can see numerous units of the DS3 and 208 on the market. Its price is around 100,000 euros, which can be a very interesting market opportunity. They are very fast cars, with a high budget in spare parts, but valid to enjoy at the highest level.
In Germany we find this Citroën at less than 100,000 euros in price, with the dirt kit included. It is a car with less than ten races in its history and a great state of conservation. It was used by drivers like Karl Kruuda in WRC events. See ad here:
