INTRODUCTION
In 1985, the FISA (former ruling committee of the FIA) announced a possible replacement class to Group B that was referred to as “Group S”. The new regulations would require only 10 cars for homologation and was essentially a “prototype” class for rallying. The class was originally scheduled to make its debut on January 1st 1988, then as a heavily revised and forceful replacement to Group B for 1987, but both were ultimately cancelled.

For the Group S replacement formula, Peugeot Talbot Sport (PTS) initially wanted to perform what could be considered a third evolution (E3) of the 205 Turbo 16. The various technologies applied would eventually take the form of the company’s new flagship model, the 405.
