TO 206 ROLAND
GARROS EDITION
THE new Peugeot 206 Roland Garros, a luxurious addition to the highly-successful range of hatchbacks, has a unique all-glass roof, which allows passengers to enjoy the open sky above without being open to the elements.
The unusual roof is, in effect, a fixed panoramic sunroof with an interior electrically-operated shutter blind, which rolls back the full length of the roof. Even in mid-winter, passengers can enjoy the sensation of being under an open sky, without opening the roof and having to withstand the cold, buffeting winds, or the noise and dirt of modern motorway traffic.
The Roland Garros has the same sculpted, five-door body style and high level of equipment that have made the 206 range such a runaway sales success. But, in the classic Roland Garros tradition, it offers exclusive extras designed to create a distinctive, luxurious character.
The car is named after the fashionable stadium in Paris where the French Open Tennis Champiopnships are held each year.
Roland Garros himself was a famous pioneer aviator in the early part of the century.
