First hybrid engine at Le Mans?
Hi,
During a press conference at the Geneva Motorshow this week, Peugeot chairman announced the constructor will present this year a new racing prototype with a hybrid-diesel engine !!! We can speculate whatever we want about what it'll be(no more news have been given about it), but according to L'Equipe mag of today, this would be based on the current 908 and unveiled in june during the 2008 24h of Le Mans week(like they did in 2006 with the engine) Then it would have its first race on the last round of 2008 LMS(Shanghai)for a full 2009 Le Mans/LMS season... If all that come true, Peugeot would be the first team to use LMP1 fitted with such engine at Le Mans before Audi and Toyota |
