A Working-class Ferrari: The 406 coupe gives Ferrari looks at Peugeot running costs. Prices start at ￡600

摘要

Peugeot was riding high in the 1990s. Its cars were widely praised for the way they drove, and nothing demonstrated the firm's stylistic acclaim better than the 406 coupe. Introduced in 1997, the svelte two-door won countless awards for its design, and deservedly so. Pininfarina took care of the shape and its build, and the result was and remains a real head-turner. Barely any of its contemporary tests could resist the temptation to mention Ferrari. Autocar's own report said, "The coupe shares some of its characteristics and shutline arrangements with the Ferrari 550 Maranello."
