First of all, I have to explain you what is a youngtimer. It's not an official name, it comes from the word oldtimer (vintage car), but in practice we call every car a youngtimer, what was made after the '60's and has mostly original components.
I like older cars very much, that's why I've chosen this topic, and I'm gonna introduce my favorite ones.
Let's start with the Peugeot 205 T16
This is not similar as the normal Peugeot 205, what was a popular small car, 5,3 million was made and it was in market from 1983 to 1998.
The T16 series were much more interesting, theese were the rally editions. In theese years Peugeot was racing in the famous Group B, and there was a rule that most motorsport events using street-based cars require that the manufacturer release a minimum number of public street models.
As you can see in the images, theese were not common cars, just an "object that looks like an automobile".
The road variants shared the transverse mid-engine, four-wheel drive layout of the rally car, but had much less power, at around 200 PS (The real rally versions had more than 400 PS). The T was for Turbo; the 16 for the 16 valves that the 4-cylinder 1.8 litre engine had.
This car was very successful in the rally too
I've found a video as well:
And this is about the rally edition:
