You’re probably quite aware by now that SEGA Rally has quite a varied selection of cars, so it won’t be much of a surprise to know that we have also included the Audi quattro A2 and the Peugeot 205 T16 Evolution 2. 

Both of these cars were pioneers within the Rally scene, the Peugeot 205 T16 Evolution 2 was one of the most successful Group B cars to have ever existed, and the Audi quattro A2 brought four wheel drive systems to the world of rallying which paved the way for today’s WRC cars.

Audi were one of the first manufacturers to take advantage of the new rule amendments that meant all-wheel-drive cars could now compete.  So in 1983 the first version of Audi’s new quattro A1 (the engine block was made out of aluminium so the car received the A1 suffix) was used to much success, it was however plagued by engine and ancillary failures so that years manufacturers title eventually went to Lancia with the two wheel drive 037. 

It was the following years that saw the new Audi quattro A2 display it’s truly victorious colours with manufacturer and driver WRC titles.

The Peugeot 205 T16 Evolution 2 was special for being a great all rounder, it was very difficult to drive but when it was handled right it did great things.  It may look like a normal road going Peugeot 205 but believe me it is nothing like a normal Peugeot 205.

The 1.8 Garrett turbo charged engine (capable of 435-700bhp depending on state of tune) was mounted at the rear of the car, and access was gained by the whole back end body panel hinging from the roof.  The body work was Kevlar/Plastic with the main chassis being fabricated from sheet and tubular steel.
