Why it matters
The 405 T16 Grand Raid was Peugeot's rally-raid car for the Paris-Dakar after Group B ended. It put a 405 body over the mid-engined, four-wheel-drive 205 T16 running gear and gave the longer proportions that suited desert jumps and long corners. It is a purpose-built competition car, not a road model.

History
After Group B was abandoned in 1986, Peugeot turned to Rally Raid and won the Paris-Dakar in 1987 and 1988 with adapted 205 T16 cars. The short wheelbase of the 205 was a drawback on Dakar terrain, and lengthening the existing design spoiled its proportions.
The 1988 solution kept the 205 T16 shell and purpose-built subframe but lengthened the section between them, which also allowed larger fuel tanks, and added Kevlar and carbon-fibre panels resembling the front and rear of the 405. Unlike the road 405 it had no rear doors.
