There's just over a week to go until this year's Pikes Peak International Hill Climb gets underway and Peugeot has released footage of its insane 208 T16 undergoing first testing along the fearsome hill course.
You only have to look at the performance figures for the T16 to realise that it's an extraordinary bit of kit, and Peugeot will be hoping that, in the hands of nine-time World Rally Champion Sebastian Loeb, the T16 might just be in with a shout of the lap record.
Pikes Peak is an awe-inspiring track, curving its way for 12.42 miles through the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, with 156 turns along the way ready to punish those who dare to push their cars just a little too far. Jeremy Foley's spectacular crash last year proves just how dangerous the track is.
So, do you think Loeb and Peugeot have what it takes to crack the 9:46:164 lap record set last year by Rhys Millen?
