1982 Peugeot 505 STI original vintage advertisement.
DESCRIPTION:
A car that “weighs” its own passengers and luggage… then tells the brakes how much power is needed. Such a car is the Peugeot 505 STI.
The car hurtles towards the obstacle. It is a double row of pylons forming a lane 120 feet long and only 12 feet wide that hooks severely to the right.
The driver must bring the car to a halt from an indicated 55 miles an hour within this narrow, curving lane... while turning.
There is the hideous sound of tortured rubber. Acrid tire smoke billows in the air. It is frightening to see and hear.
When it is all over, almost two tons of car and passengers have pulled to a stop with several feet to spare.
Brakes that “read”.
The car is the Peugeot 505 STI.
It is fitted with an ingenious device that “reads” the weight of the passengers and luggage, then instantly calculates the division of braking power that is needed between the front and rear brakes.
The reason: if a car is lightly loaded, it has a tendency to lock its rear brakes as the weight shifts
forward. The result could be a dangerous skid. When the device senses such a light-load condition, it will automatically shut down some of the power to the rear brakes to help keep them from locking. But if a car is heavily loaded, as is the case in this test,
full braking power is sent to all four wheels.
The sensation in a panic stop has been likened to running into a giant pillow.
Tires that cling like limpets.
Powerful brakes are of little use if the carmaker scrimps on tires; it is the tires, after all, that have the
final word about stopping the car.
You will never find mere letter-of-the-law tires on a Peugeot.
Every tire is a Michelin steel-belted radial. Special to the 505 STI is the Michelin TRX® tire, mounted on low-profile alloy wheels. The flat, wide footprint of this tire applies a limpet-like grip to the road.
Coupled with stabilizer bars that are thicker than on other 505 models, the tire edges the already-surefooted handling of a Peugeot up another notch in the new STI.
The Peugeot Lion
The lion has represented Peugeot since 1858. It was Peugeot that built the first car ever sold commercially (1891)... the world’s first diesel-powered car (1922)...and the first high-rpm diesel engine (1967).
A most-complete car. So lavishly equipped is the Peugeot 505 STI that there is only one option, a 3-speed automatic transmission (0) in place of the 5-speed overdrive manual gearbox.
Here is a partial list of the equipment that is standard on this ,990 car:
•
Air conditioning, factory-installed
•
Power-assisted steering
•
Power-assisted 4-wheel disc brakes
•
Cruise control
•
Electric sunroof
•
Electric windows
•
Central locking system — a twist of the key locks all four doors and fuel-filler door
•
Digital AM/FM 40-watt stereo radio with cassette player, scan tuning, and four speakers
•
Automatic electric antenna
•
Leather upholstery
•
Multi-adjustable driver’s seat
•
Tachometer
•
Limited-slip differential
Unhysterical seats.
Click open the door of the Peugeot 505 STI and your nose will immediately tell you what the seats are made of; the car’s interior is redolent of leather. What none of your senses will detect, however, is what lies beneath that soft, tanned hide.
Peugeot has banished springs from its seats. Springs have a natural tendency to flutter and bounce hysterically when a car meets with rough roads. In their place, Peugeot has used polymerized foam.
It is more costly to make all 5 seats of the Peugeot in this manner — yes, this is a true
5-seater — but the expenditure has led to seats that have been described as almost sinfully comfortable.
The strokes of a master painter.
Pass your hand over the paintwork of the Peugeot 505 STI and you will make a further discovery about the car.
No bored, “just-doing-my-job” worker has created this smooth finish. Instead, the critical part has been done by a computerized robot, taught to imitate the strokes of a master painter.
The STI is the only model of the Peugeot 505 available in a metallic claret or classic black.
The black is a wet-on-wet process. First comes the enamel itself. Then, while the black is still glistening wet, it is overlaid with a clear coat of lacquer, sprayed to a thickness of 30 microns.
A final search for faults.
Once built, every single car is taken to a special track and road-tested by one of Peugeot’s 65-member team of expert drivers. Only when it has met Peugeot’s standards is the car permitted to leave Europe for the U.S.
Does this mean that nothing will ever foil on a Peugeot? That would be wishful thinking. The perfect, indestructible car does not exist, no matter what its price. But one can usually count on a car to reveal its little glitches and foibles
during the first year of driving.
You will be reassured to know that Peugeot does not care how many thousands of miles you put on your car during the first year you own it. The Peugeot new-vehicle limited warranty is for 12 months... with unlimited mileage.*
Peugeot has little tolerance for poorly made cars.
