Juha kankkunen car collection

Kankkunen won his first World Championship with Peugeot in 1986, but the infamous Group B cars were banned a year later following the death of his close friend Henri Toivonen. Sitting in the 205 today, it feels ridiculously flimsy for a car that generated 550 horsepower from its 1,775cc engine.

"The cars were dangerous if you gave them to a normal driver," reckons Kankkunen, "but the professional drivers could handle them. We knew what was happening. The step to the Group A cars that followed was too big. It was like going from Formula 1 to Formula Ford."
