2000 Peugeot 206 WRC (Red)

Realtoy 1/64

Car: Peugeot 206 WRC
Year: 2000
Color: Red

This is, in my opinion, one of the best looking Realtoy castings. I was actually surprised that these seem to be unlicensed. I'm basing this off the lack of the model name at the base of the car as well as the lack of Peugeot badging. Based on the front bumper, I am assuming that this is based on the 2000 version of the Peugeot 206 WRC. The Peugeot 206 WRC was initially entered in the World Rally Championship in the 1999 season. The car was not too successful that season but in the following season, the Peugeot team won both the drivers and the constructors championships. Peugeot would go on to win the "double" once again in 2002.

These examples by Realtoy only have plain colors which is a bit disappointing for me. I do not think Realtoy ever released this casting in realistic liveries. What I also like a lot about this casting is the interior. I think the racing seats are really done well and really add a lot to the casting.
