PEUGEOT 205
LA GEANTE DU LION
In the early 1980s, Peugeot, which acquired Citroën and Chrysler Europe, was close to bankruptcy. In the mid-1980s, the House of the Lion left the group.
In the middle, a car, a miracle: the Peugeot 205. Launched in France on 24 February 1983, the 205 succeeded the 104. It became the second best-selling Peugeot of all time, behind the 206 and ahead of the 504.
Michel Forichon, Jean-Paul Parayre, Jean Boillot, Jean Todt, Gérard Welter, Paul Bracq, imagined the car that would be nicknamed the "sacré numéro".
Moderately revolutionary in design and technical terms, as well as in the styling of the exterior and interior, this car definitively changed its manufacturer's image without betraying its soul.
A product of Peugeot's history that became a vector of its future, a milestone of its brand, the emblem of an era, the automotive common denominator of a generation anchored in the collective national memory, the 205 became a true French legend.
Peugeot 205: La géante du Lion has 192 pages and about 400 images.
