Peugeot 504 Pikes Peak Racer Is Retro Madness On Wheels

Peugeot just pulled off something absolutely insane—they turned the classic 504 into a monstrous Pikes Peak racer. When we say monstrous, we mean full-blown, wide-fendered, winged-up madness. This beast comes straight from Peugeot Design Lab, and they didn’t hold back.

The front fenders are so wide you can see the tops of the wheels poking through, and the rear is even crazier—massive rear quarters, a giant wing, a splitter, and a diffuser that’s just as extreme.

Oh, and forget a rear bumper. The wheels are fully exposed for that raw, track-ready vibe. Inside, there’s a proper roll cage, checkered fabric covered seats, dash, and floor, adding an old-school touch, while a rectangular steering wheel completes the design.

Most importantly, it’s got the right number of pedals—because anything built for Pikes Peak better have a proper manual transmission. The number “113” plastered on the wheels, roof, and body isn’t random—it’s a nod to the French rap group 113. These guys actually drove a 504 onto the stage during the 2000 Victoires de la Musique awards show, so this is Peugeot’s way of honoring that moment.

Peugeot didn’t stop at just one wild 504. They also built two more, both a little more grounded but still packed with style. One rocks a gray-brown exterior with bright blue accents, while the other has a flat gray body with blue rear doors, a red hatch, and yellow detailing. In case you needed more proof these are made for pure fun, both have turntables inside. Because why not?
