SI,
There's also an SI version believed to have been released in Australia and Japan, featuring a 65kw 1.6 engine with max torque of 132Nm offered in either 4 speed automatic or 5 speed manual transmission, it had styling from the GTI inside and out, CarAdvice.com.au were quoted as saying:

"Although the 205 graced Australian shores with the GTi model in 1988, It wasn’t until 1992 (with the Japanese Yen rising and memories of the Rainbow Warrior fading) that it made fiscal sense for Peugeot to start selling a version that could compete on price with the Toyota Corolla, which at the time was Australia’s biggest selling small car. The SI model, with its 1.6 litre motor, was introduced to do this. Although the 1.6 in the SI was larger than most of the motors in its European siblings, it was regarded as a bit of an escargot in Australia."
