The real model: a technological revolution
The Peugeot 905 was born in 1990 in the design offices of Peugeot Talbot Sport, with the objective of conquering world endurance circuits. Developed specifically for the World Sports Prototype Championship, this car embodies French technological excellence with its 3.5-liter V10 engine developing over 650 horsepower.
Designed by a team led by André de Cortanze, the 905 is distinguished by its carbon monocoque chassis and particularly studied aerodynamics. Its bodywork with pure lines, designed by the Peugeot design center, combines aerodynamic efficiency and aesthetics, creating an immediately recognizable silhouette on circuits around the world.
From its first appearances in competition, the 905 demonstrated its exceptional potential, quickly establishing itself as one of the most performing endurance cars of its era and preparing the ground for the future successes of the lion brand.
Peugeot in 1991: the golden age of motorsport
In 1991, Peugeot was going through a particularly prosperous period in its sporting history. The Sochaux brand, riding high on its rally successes with the 205 Turbo 16 and 405 Turbo 16, decided to tackle endurance circuits with the same determination that had led it to the summit of world rallying.
This era marked the peak of Peugeot's sporting commitment, with Peugeot Talbot Sport directed by Jean Todt. The French team then had the technical and human resources necessary to compete with the world's greatest manufacturers, drawing on the expertise acquired during rally campaigns to develop a revolutionary endurance car.
The year 1991 represented a decisive turning point for Peugeot in its quest for international recognition in motorsport, with the 905 quickly becoming the symbol of French excellence on the planet's most demanding circuits.
The 1991 Le Mans 24 Hours anecdote
The 1991 edition of the Le Mans 24 Hours remains etched in memories as one of the most contested races in the history of the event. The Peugeot 905 number 5, entrusted to Mauro Baldi, Philippe Alliot and Jean-Pierre Jabouille, perfectly embodies the French spirit of this legendary competition.
Jean-Pierre Jabouille, former Formula 1 driver and emblematic figure of French motorsport, brought his valuable experience to the crew. His perfect knowledge of the Sarthe circuit, acquired during his previous participations, proved crucial for optimizing the 905's settings on the 13.650 kilometers of the Sarthe circuit.
This race also marked one of Jabouille's last appearances in official competition, adding a particular emotional dimension to this participation. The French driver, who had marked Formula 1 history with Renault, found in this 905 the opportunity to extend his career on terrain he knew perfectly.
The particular atmosphere of this 1991 edition, with the massive presence of French public who came to support the national colors, transformed each lap into a true demonstration of tricolor pride, with the white 905 number 5 quickly becoming one of the crowd's favorites massed along the circuit.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.

What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
