Nothing is revolutionary in the first divulged data.
Correct me if I am wrong but what seems different in this set up compared to LMP1 is that the ICE can produce the max permitted power without the hybrid and the engine management system will therefore control how much power the ICE is making to balance it with hybrid energy deployment.
Whereas in LMP1, once the battery was depleted, the car was effectively underpowered until it recharged.
So the Peugeot will always have 670hp available, with part time 4wd, with some power coming from ICE and some from hybrid, compared to say, the Glickenhaus which will always have 670hp available from ICE alone with full time rwd.
