Peugeots official press release photograph 20th October 1993 & Brochure Cover

The Peugeot 106 RALLYE Series 1 was born out of necessity - to compete and win international rallying for the popular
sub 1400cc car class. It was homologated into international group N and A rallying class, and therefore a minimum
number of road going cars had to be built. It was launched in the UK at the London Motor Show in late October 1993.
Peugeot originally commissioned 1000 Rallyes to be imported into the UK but the actual number of cars imported was
higher than this due to the popular demand from the UK consumer market. They were available to buy new from
Peugeot dealers since November 1993 with the last new RALLYE registered in May 1997.
There are now approximately 969 S1 Rallyes registered in the UK (DVLA 2003) that makes it one of the rarest Peugeot
models in existence.

Bianca White, Cherry Red and Black S1 Rallye's, the 3 available colours in the UK

Based upon the Peugeot 106 100bhp 1.4 XSi that was launched a couple of years earlier, the evocatively named Rallye
was designed for the enthusiastic sporting driver with its high revving engine, uprated suspension and sporty exterior. In
anticipation of competition use, front suspension mounting points have been strengthened and the sound deadening trim
is easily removed.

'Nothing subtle about this little baby - its a gusty revy formula for fun'

Performance Car, 1993

Engine & Gearbox

The four-cylinder (TU2J2) unit in the 106 Rallye is a small capacity, easily accessible engine of
1294cc. With two-valves per cylinder and a single overhead camshaft, specific power is 77bhp per litre (55.6kW/l)
Maximum output is 100bhp (72kW) at 7200rpm with fuel injection cut-off at 7400rpm/ Maximum torque is 108Nm
(11.2mkg) at 5400rpm. A Magnetti Marelli 08P21 combined ignition and injection system is fitted for optimum all-round

efficiency.
This engine, with a three-way catalyst and a knock sensor, can run on RON 95 unleaded petrol. The light alloy cylinder
block (bore x stroke: 75mm x 73.2mm) with its wet liners is derived from that of the 1300cc 205 Rallye.
The con rods, pistons and crankshaft are also shared but the cylinder head, also light alloy, is derived from the TU3J2
engine of the Peugeot 106 XSi, with a compression ratio of 10.2:1.
There are four seperate intake branches on the manifold and the mouths of these intakes have sufficient material for
enlarging in the process of subsequent development.
The special camshaft has TU3 dimensions. Inlet and exhaust valves have the same 11mm lift with diameters of 39mm
and 31.5mm respectively. The inlet manifold has an optimum 2.5 litres capacity while the inlet branches have a capacity
of 1.6 litres, thus ensuring the capability to exploit the difference between "production standard" power and higher
performance.
A rubber buffer absorbs vibration between the "outrigged" main manifold and the cylinder head. The air filter, with a
venturi, is mounted behind the front cross-member. The exhaust is siamesed, with a cast collector chamber and a
welded, rolled steel rear chamber.
The cooling circuit incorporates a copper-cored radiator and coolant bottle, plus a single-speed electrode cooling fan,
thermostatically controlled. Engine oil cooling is by an eight-leaf water/oil heat exchanger.
"....so compact are its dimensions, so precise and communicative is its steering, you never exit a corner using any more road than you envisaged on the way in"

Autocar & Motor, 1993

Suspension & Braking

The Peugeot 106 Rallye suspension is similar to that on the Peugeot 106 XSi, the only difference being increased
diameter anti-roll bars. The springs and dampers are shared with the XSi.
Up front, a forged steel wishbone and an independent 22mm anti-roll bar are linked to the support strut by a double balljointed rod. This layout results in a virtually instantaneous anti-roll response which exactly meets the design specification.
The rear trailing arm and torsion bars suspension also has an anti-roll bar with its diameter increased to 21mm from the
19mm bar fitted to the XSi. The two torsion bars are 19mm which is the same size as the 106 XSi and GTi 16v.
The rack and pinion steering has a three-spoke steering wheel fitted with a medallion in the Peugeot Talbot Sport
colours.
The braking system comprises 247mm ventilated front discs and 180mm diameter rear drums, with 8" vacuum servo
assistance.
As an option, twin-sensor anti-lock braking was available when buying new.
'The steering feel is sensational, the chassis balance just on the controllable side of knife edge and the unburstable engine begs you to wring every last molecule
of power from it'

evo, 1996

Exterior & Bodywork

The 106 Rallye was only available in three colours - Bianca White, Cherry Red or Black. Peugeot Talbot Sport (PTS) livery
as standard and lightweight Michelin Sport 5.5x14" steel wheels. The bodywork enhanced by deep front sports spoiler,
coloured rear bumper, and all-round coloured wheel arch extensions.
It shares the 106 XSi front bumper design but comes completely colour painted to match the bodywork. The lower

foglights on the XSi bumper have been replaced with two side grilles. Behind each grille there is a blanking plate which
can be removed at will to improve brake cooling.

Front wheel arch, front bumper with grilles, and rear bumper with tailgate graphics.

The wheel arches have plastic wing extensions which are painted the body colour. These are unique to the Rallye and are
not fitted to any other 106 model. A Peugeot Talbot Sport (PTS) body stripe links the front and rear wing extensions.
Other PTS livery is found on the right front corner of the bonnet and on either side of the rear boot. The rear bumper is
also painted the body colour producing a very sporty looking car with its pedigree clearly on show for all to see.
The RALLYE has Michelin Sport steel wheels painted white as standard. These 5.5 x 14" wheels are very lightweight to
aid handling and performance. Standard tyres fitted to the RALLYE are Pirelli P4000 175/60. The 4-stud wheels have
black Peugeot centre caps with a silver outlined Peugeot lion emblem in the centre.

'What we have here is the most throttle adjustable front-wheel drive car currently made'

Autocar & Motor, 1994

Interior
Peugeot have given the Rallye a subtly coloured, sporty interior treatment to match the cars evocative look. Inside, the
front bucket seats with high lateral support are upholstered in special black cloth trim with red PTS logo's on them. The
rear is fitted with a one piece folding bench seat in matching trim.
The Rallye also has a special lightweight carpet in a vibrant red colour with matching red seatbelts front and rear. These
are unique to the Rallye and not fitted to any other Peugeot model.

Series 1 Rallye Interior

There is a black dashboard based upon the standard 106 Series 1 layout, it features a 3 spoke sports steering wheel with
PTS logo on the centre cap. Interior plastics are kept to a minimum to loose weight hence the large amount of bare
metal showing inside the car.
Peugeot thoughtfully equipped the Rallye. The instruments, in a large four-dial layout, include an electronic rev. counter,
a trip meter, digital clock and a warning lights array: water temperature gauge, fuel level, battery charge, handbrake, oil
level and temperature. The Rallye is equipped with H4 headlamps and two-speed plus intermittent wash-wipe, door
mirrors remotely adjustable and rear wash-wipe. Optional extra's included a factory fitted glass sunroof when buying
new.
'The achievement you get from wringing this terrific little car along a tricky piece of road, is right up there with the very best drivers cars money can buy'

evo, 2004

Conclusion
The close ratio gearbox and uprated suspension are perfectly matched to the mega 1.3 litre engine to produce a winning
combination of exciting acceleration and tenacious roadholding. The 106 Rallye has just what it takes to make driving
sheer sparking fun!

Peugeot official press release photo 9th Oct 97 & Brochure Cover

The Peugeot 106 Rallye Series 2 was produced as a homologation special edition model and consequently only limited
numbers were manufactured to satisfy international motorsport regulations. Production of the second Rallye model began
in March 1996 at Peugeots factory in Aulnay, France and it ceased in October 2000 to make way for the production of the
Rallye 16v model sold in several countries.
Originally Peugeot never intended to release the Series 2 model in the UK, although after pressure from the UK consumer
market approximately 500 right hand drive models were imported from France, available in Bianca White and Indigo
Blue. It was launched in the UK at the London Motor Show in October 1997. From that time onwards, it was officially sold
for a price tag of 9895 for only one year by Peugeot dealers up until the end of 1998 with the last Rallye being
registered in January 1999. The S2 Rallye 16v was never sold in the UK but a few models have been imported privately.
It instantly became the most exclusive performance 106 model ever launched by Peugeot in the UK, as there are 1081 S1
RALLYES, 5201 XSi 1400cc, 796 XSi 1600cc and 5468 GTi models registered (DVLA 2002). There are currently only 2
black LHD RALLYES registered in the UK (2002).

Bianca White, Indigo Blue and Black Series 2 Rallye's

It was quite clear from the development of the Rallye that Peugeot intended this car for the true driving enthusiast.
Based on the fundamentals of the 106 GTi, the Rallye as of course had the frills replaced with the thrills. Just like the 106
Rallye Series 1 before it, the Series 2 version has little use for luxuries - just the bare essentials!
'Hit the gas and the Rallye zooms off at a blistering pace no matter which gear you're in'

TopGear, 1998

Engine & Gearbox

The Rallye is fitted with a high performance TU5J2 1587cc 8v engine that is a
slightly more tuned version of the earlier 106 1.6 XSi engine also fitted to some Peugeot 306 models. This engine is
unique to the Rallye and is not fitted to any other Peugeot model. It produces 103bhp at 6200rpm and gives 97lbs/ft of
torque at 3500rpm.
It provides immense power and effective torque up to 7,000 rpm - giving endless acceleration through the gears.
Although the S2 engine is not as high revving as the one used in the S1 Rallye, it is much more flexible and produces raw
performance characteristics that none of its rivals can match. A high power to weight ratio of 119bhp/tonne helps give a
top speed of 121mph, 8.5 sec 0-60mph, and fantastic mid range figures.
The Rallye is fitted with a MA 5-speed gearbox, the same as the one used in the 1.6 XSi. It shares the same gear ratio's
as the S1 Rallye gearbox but different crown and pinion wheels give the S2 a final drive ratio of 4.06. The gearing
specification allows the Rallye to reach 62mph in 2nd gear and 116mph in 4th when standard size wheels and tyres are
fitted.
'It could teach expensive sports cars a trick or ten about handling'

Auto Express, 1998

Suspension & Brakes

The highly successful suspension layout of the S1 Rallye has been tweaked by Peugeot for use on the S2 Rallye. The
front design is very similar using the same size 22mm anti-roll bar, the only difference being a new drop link upper fixing
point on the strut casing. The Rallye and GTi have identical front and rear suspension.
Rallyes with the power steering option have slightly different drive shafts, hubs and top mount position.
The rear suspension has been uprated by fitting a larger 24mm anti-roll bar whilst the torsion bar size stays the same as
the S1 at 19mm.
The front braking system has changed from the Bendix calipers used on the S1 to ATE calipers on the S2. The calipers
are very similar and still use 247mm ventilated discs.
The major change on the rear is the disc brakes fitted to the S2 Rallye. It is fitted with the same rear disc set up as a lot
of other Peugeot and Citroen performance models such as the 205 GTi, 306 Rallye and Xsara VTS.
'B roads are the Rallye's natural habitat'

Cars & Car Conversions, 1998

Bodywork & Exterior

Looking every inch the part with its exciting shape, Peugeot Sport livery and white steel wheels the Rallye really does
stand out from the crowd. Easily distinguished from any other 106 model as the Rallyes exterior has more purpose and
character. Available in three door only and coloured in either Indigo Blue or Bianca White in the UK, the Rallyes exterior
helps make it such an intoxicating car on the road. In Europe and some other countries, the Rallye was also available in
black, red, silver and yellow.

Front bumper, side skirts and arches, rear bumper

The Rallye shares the same body kit design as the 106 GTi and Quiksilver but with a few subtle differences. The front
and rear bumpers are fully painted to match the body colour where as the GTi has black plastic rubbing strips on the
bumpers. The front spot lights have replaced with small circle grilles that can be removed to aid brake cooling.

Side, tailgate and bonnet Peugeot Sport Decals

The Rallye goes without a rear spoiler, painted wing mirror covers, painted door handles and door rubbing strips that are
fitted to the GTi. The most identifiable feature of the Rallye is the Peugeot Sport livery running down both sides, on the
bonnet and on the rear boot.
Alloy wheels are replaced with light weight Michelin Sport steel wheels painted bright white. These wheels are 6x14"
making them half inch wider than the steel wheels fitted on the S1 Rallye.

AutoCar, 1999

Interior
The interior of the Rallye has been designed upon the standard 106 Series 2 layout, and hasn't really evolved that much
from the S1 Rallye. However, it does incorporate certain features that distinguish it from any other 106 model:

Series 2 Rallye Interior

The interior is minimal and basic to save weight so there are no GTi features such as electric windows or air conditioning.
A lot of the interior plastics fitted to the GTi have been removed which means a lot of metal (body coloured white or
blue) is showing inside the cabin.
It demonstrates unflappable poise and grip with all four wheels working in total harmony'

Auto Express, 2000

Conclusion
The S1 Rallye created a phenomenon when launched into the hot hatch market, the S2 Rallye has picked up the S1
credentials and taken them to the next level.
