Last Sunday was a historic day for Peugeot, Sebastien Loeb and the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb alike, as the French driver demolished the course record with an 8-minute run.
Brought to Colorado straight from the World Rally Championship, Loeb didn't need too long to get aquainted with the astounding Peugeot 208 T16, which has a power to weight ratio of 1-to-1, and climbed the 12.72-mile course in only 8 minutes and 13.878 seconds, smashing the previous record by one minute and 33 seconds.

You've already seen the Frenchman's run yesterday, but now we're introducing you to a new onboard video, shot with several cameras mounted in the cockpit, in the front bumper or even on top of the Peugeot 208 T16. There can never be too many videos of this amazing achievement, so just scroll below and enjoy Loeb's run from a different angle.
