Climb Dance: Ari Vatanen’s Pike Peak assault on the Peugeot 405 T16 [video]

Peugeot’s recent Pikes Peak success with Sebastien Loeb and the 208 T16 isn’t a first for the French brand; 25 years ago, it teamed up with World Rally Champion Ari Vatanen to tackle the same peak on a different monster: the Peugeot 405 T16. Vatanen’s record climb was captured in the award-winning short film Climb Dance which was created by Jean Louis Mourey.

Watch the famous rally legend rip through hairpins and glide past sheer cliffs at 4000-meter elevations from cameras inside, in front, underneath and above the car in the footage below.
