Why cant we use the new peugeot on the gravel pikes peak or the mixed??

It's not suited for gravel racing in real life, it just wouldn't work very well with how it's constructed and how it's aero-dependent.

Most important question: How can I upgrade the car if I can't even select it in Hillclimb Championship, garage says upgrades 0/5.

Based on what we've been told, it has nothing to do with what it is and isn't suited for (after all, the original 3 cars weren't suited to the tarmac version either, but there they were).
It was mentioned on a recent DiRT Show that licensing restrictions by Peugeot and Red Bull were the only reason it could only go on an all-tarmac Pikes Peak.

Though they seemingly had no problem with it going onto gravel, or even competing in Rally Cross, in SLRE, so go figure.
Silly French.

You have to buy a car before you can upgrade it. But you can free play it outside of career.

You can only upgrade during a championship but you can't select this car for a championship (of course i do own this car). So how are we supposed to upgrade the 208? I have already bought the bonuses for upgrading faster...

Not quite 100% accurate. 
You can upgrade cars via online events like daily, weekly, monthly challenges, etc. You get your XP/Upgrades when the event is concluded.
I guess that would be the only way for now.

Mind you, since it' can't be driven in career anyway the upgrades issue is rather moot. 
It probably should have just gone the way of the i20 at first, where there were no upgrades to unlock and the menu reflected that.
For the record, there was no community testing of 1.1

Thanks, but I did buy it, also the reason I asked it, if I select championship I can't select the modern Hillclimb class.

No, so far I haven't been able to select the Modern Hillclimb class for Custom Championship, it only shows the 3 original cars from the normal Hillclimb championship.
