Peugeot 2008 DKR heading for the Dakar Rally. Not that it looks much like a 2008

Unlike most cars that tackle the Dakar, Peugeot has decided that rear-wheel-drive is the way to go as it allows for bigger wheels and more suspension travel, rather than the four-wheel-drive preferred by the majority of entrants.
