The Original Car: An Overview
The Peugeot 406 is a mid-size car produced by the French automaker Peugeot from 1995 to 2004. The model, which continued the successful 400 series of Peugeot when it was introduced, replaced the Peugeot 405. The design was developed under the guidance of Pininfarina, with significant input from Italian designer Lorenzo Ramaciotti. The Peugeot 406 featured a strong and elegant body, available in sedan, estate, coupe, and later convertible versions. The technical specifications varied depending on the engine and model, with the Peugeot 406 offering both petrol and diesel engines ranging from 88 to 147 kW (118 to 197 horsepower). The design, reliability, and technical uniqueness made this car a sought-after model of its time.
Interesting Events in the Production Year
