In-game description[]
"Designed by Pininfarina, the 406 coupé has an air of elegance."
A coupe needs to be beautiful and distinctive, so says the unwritten code for French car makers. The Peugeot Coupe 406 is a shining testament to that statement. From the beginning of the 1950s to the late 1990s, Peugeot had entrusted the design of its cars to Pininfarina, famous for penning many of the Ferraris that are now treasure pieces. Among the cars he designed for Peugeot was the Coupe 406 that appeared in 1997. There was a 4-door-sedan variant and a 5-door station wagon version of the 406 as well, but the Coupe was by far the prettiest.
Characterized by its flowing lines, the Coupe 406 was a picture of elegance, with a bit of a sporty attitude. The classy presentation of the interior also suggested sophistication, with just enough sportiness to satisfy the enthusiast. There was plenty of room for front-seat passengers, and two adults could sit in the rear in a pinch, while the trunk easily accommodated a couple of large suitcases. The Coupe 406 was as pleasurable to drive as it was to look at. Power came in the form of a 2.2-liter inline-4 in Europe (in Japan, a 3.0-liter V-6 was fitted), mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission. The cabin remained quiet and the Coupe 406 exhibited excellent high-speed stability. It even made its way into racing, including the British Touring Car Championship.[1]
