Rally History

The 504 Coupe was rallied by Peugeot in 1970’s with Group 4 homologation. It won the Morocco Rallye, the Bandama and the East African Safari,  with driver Jean-Pierre Nicolas.

The coupe is the only Peugeot 504 to have the V6 engine. The sedan was only 4 cylinder. This means to legally rally a 504 with a V6 it must be a coupe body.
