Its dynamic styling further highlights its performance. This is a 1/24-scale plastic model kit that recreates the Peugeot 360 MAXI EVO2, which competed in the 1998 Monte Carlo Rally. [About the Real Car] The F2 Kit Car regulations established in 1994 were limited to naturally aspirated engines of up to 2 liters and 2WD only; however, the scope for modifications was broader than that of the Group A cars of the time, prompting several manufacturers to enter the competition. One of these was the Peugeot 306 Maxi. Developed by Peugeot of France in 1995, this rally car was a front-engine, front-wheel-drive (FF) 2WD vehicle powered by a front-mounted inline-four 2-liter naturally aspirated engine. In 1997, an evolution model was developed featuring a further-enhanced engine and other upgrades. Combined with its lightweight body, its sharp handling allowed it to reach speeds that rivaled turbocharged 4WD machines on tarmac rallies. At the Rally El Corte Ingles, held on March 13 and 14, 1998?which served as a round of both the 1998 European Rally Championship and the Spanish National Championship?Gilles Panizzi secured a spectacular victory.
