The Pikes Peak '405 T16' was a 205 T16. It was fitted with a 405-sort-of-look-a-like body to promote the new model. A semantic argument over what it was called is rather pointless, but whatever they called it: it was a long wheel base 205 T16.

What about the Golf Rallye or whatever they were called, anyone ever seen one of those?
haven't seen a Rallye for ages - another Group B victim
troube was they were so heavy they really weren't any quicker then the 16v, and very, very expensive. supercharger could be tweaked though...

16Ltd rare as rocking horse poo, and pretty potent (~210bhp IIRC)

The supercharged Golf Rallye was only a Group A vehicle and very unsuccessful it was too! It only managed a solitary 3rd place in WRC (New Zealand 1990). The turbocharged Lancia Integrale 16v (6 wins), Toyota Celica (5 wins) and Mitsubishi Galant VR-4 (2 wins) had it licked that year.

I happen to know the guy personally, and whilst it's not MY cup of tea (and I AM a nova super-geek) it is a well-put together car!

But that one is on the wrong wheels, colour coded bumper and looks like it maybe lowered.

The whole bumper is wrong, thats a Nova GTE item, and the grille is wrong as well!

Agreed, it should be the one piece item like this:
