About the Peugeot 208 T16 Pikes Peak S. Loeb Pikes Peak International Hill Climb Record 2013 AUTOart 1:18

TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 composite Peugeot 208 T16 marks Sebastien Loeb's record-breaking run at the 2013 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. Opening panels expose a full race cockpit, and the composite construction pairs a metal body with finely detailed separate parts for a purpose-built hillclimb racer.

Few hillclimb entries carry the significance of Loeb's 208 T16, and AUTOart's composite build gives this record-setting car the mechanical detail its extreme engineering deserves.

Composite Construction for an Extreme Hillclimb Racer

Composite construction pairs a metal body shell with separately moulded fine parts, and that approach suits the 208 T16's extraordinary aerodynamic package, its towering rear wing, exposed suspension elements and vented bodywork, better than a single-material casting could manage. With panels opening on this model, the cockpit reveals a stripped, purpose-built interior with minimal comfort features, entirely consistent with a car engineered for a single record-chasing run up a mountain rather than any road use. Panel fit around the opening structure holds tightly despite the car's unconventional, heavily vented bodywork, a genuine tooling achievement given the shape's complexity.

Sebastien Loeb's 2013 Pikes Peak Record

Sebastien Loeb, one of rallying's most decorated drivers, set a landmark time at the 2013 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb aboard this purpose-built 208 T16, a run that stood as a benchmark for years afterward. That documented achievement gives the model a clear, verifiable place in motorsport history rather than a generic special-event entry.

A Landmark Piece for Special Event Collecting

This 208 T16 anchors a hillclimb or special-events display convincingly, standing apart from conventional circuit racers through its extreme, single-purpose engineering. Handle the opening panels to appreciate the exposed mechanical detail, and treat this as a genuine hero piece within any motorsport-focused collection.
