Creator of the first production cars more than 130 years ago, Peugeot is the oldest car manufacturer in the world still in business. Embodied by Le Tone, journalist and host of the Top Gear show, he makes us discover the innovations and achievements of the famous Sochaux lion that have made this unequalled longevity possible. Thanks to unpublished archives and interviews with historians, Le Tone looks back at the history of some of Peugeot's most legendary vehicles, such as the magnificent pre-war 402 with its retractable roof, the ancestor of modern convertibles, the small VLV of 1941, the first French production car to be 100% electric, or the indestructible 404, whose diesel engine caused a sensation in the 1960s with its endurance records, not forgetting the 205 GTI, the model that revolutionized the market? The 205 GTI, the model that revolutionized the city sports car market, saved the brand from bankruptcy and prepared its rebound at the turn of the century.
