Peugeot would (and have) argued that if they did a petrol car they'd be quicker than the Aston simply due to development budget.
Audi beat everyone when they ran petrol, so a formula that allows a non-factory petrol (and that is what the Aston programme is) to beat a factory diesel, means a factory petrol would probably be quicker still.
