It didn't take long for Peugeot to create a car to the new F2 Kit Car rules based on the promising 306 S16. By the French Championship Rallye Alsace-Vogues 1995 the new 306 Maxi debuted and everybody just loved it. It was so wide that a stage had to be shortened because the 306 Maxi was wider than a bridge near the stage finish! And it was screaming like mad - but a lovely, dark noise - because the 306 Maxi engine was designed in line with the 406 STW touring car engine. But other than the touring car, no maximum rev rules applied to the 306 Maxi rally car and Peugeot Sport duely managed to let the thing rev beyond 10,000rpm without demolishing its reliability - which makes the claimed figure of near WRCar like 300BHP quite believable.
