The Peugeot 104 ZS2 transformed a small French hatchback into a focused sporting model, combining compact dimensions with distinctive rally-inspired details. Its widened wheel arches, lightweight body and purposeful stance gave it a stronger presence than the everyday 104, while its limited production made it a particularly unusual member of the range. Built in a run of just 1,000 examples, the ZS2 was developed with competition in mind, reflecting Peugeot's interest in making motorsport character accessible through a small, agile road car. The result was a rare performance-oriented version of an otherwise practical city-car family.
Its 1.4-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine produces 92 hp and 92 lb-ft of torque, paired with a four-speed manual gearbox and front-wheel drive. Weighing approximately 775 kg, the ZS2 benefits from its light construction and compact proportions, helping it deliver lively responses on winding roads. Rather than relying on outright power, it combines modest engine output with low weight and straightforward mechanical engineering, giving this limited-run Peugeot a distinctive place in the history of French hot hatchbacks.
