Presented in February 1993, the Peugeot 306 S16 replaced the 309 GTI-16. The initial power was 155hp, lowered to 150 in 1994 to comply with anti-pollution regulations. It was precisely in 1994 that a special version of the 306 S16 was presented, called Le Mans. Produced in 400 examples in Rouge Lucifer, the car was distinguished by carbon-look inserts and Alcantara upholstery.
