Is this WRC's next Group B?

The world has gone mad for Sebastien Loeb's Peugeot 208 T16 Pikes Peak monster. So isn't there a lesson to be learned for the WRC? David Evans investigates

Acropolis Rally winner Jari-Matti Latvala is sold on the looks.

"It's so spectacular," he said. "With the big wings and everything, it looks really good. I would like to drive something like that."
