Peugeot 206WRC and 307WRC
decoration
This recognition guide shows you how to tell apart different Peugeot 206WRC versions. Unfortunately that is not an easy task, external differences are hard to come by. With Peugeot 307WRC task is easier.

General information about recognition guides and rally car recognition

206WRC
decoration
The original version that saw action through-out the 1999 and four events into 2000. The only visual difference I have noticed is very small change in bonnet air extraction vent. In this original model it is quite open, only front has some one-third covered by small lip (pic 1).

206WRC 2000
decoration
First evolution and is outwardly almost identical to 206WRC. The only difference to original is extended lip over bonnet air vent, now it covers two-thirds and is noticeably higher (pic 2). I apologise for poor pictures, this is such a subtle difference that I simply don't have better ones.

206WRC 2001
decoration
Improved engine bay air circulation is reflected on bonnet, air ducting vents are completely new and very different from previous models (pic 3). Air intakes just front of windscreen have been removed and air extraction vent has been split into two separate, mesh covered vents with single intake vent in between.

206WRC 2002
decoration
2002 version has two features to help identification.

Bonnet
Engine bay air circulation is changed again. Of the three vents on 2001 version, middle one is deleted and instead two auxiliary vents are added to the sides at rear of the bonnet (pic 4).

Rear wing
Rear wing (pic 5) is distinctly different with vertical fins aimed to keep air-flow in check even at higher angles of attack (ie. when car is sliding sideways).

307WRC
decoration
First version of Peugeot 307WRC fought troubled campaign in 2004. Visible fifferences to Evo2 version are in front bumper and rear wing (pics 6 and 7).

307WRC Evo 2
decoration
Front bumper
Air intake has been enlarged by deleting the horizontal bar and rounding off the edges (pic 8).

Rear wing
New design of the rear wing is bigger and more angular in shape plus it has vertical fins like those in 206WRC 2002 (pic 9).
