Peugeot 908 V12 HDi DPFS
On June 14, 2005, Peugeot set out to conquer one of the most prestigious and difficult motor races in the world: the Le Mans 24 Hours. To compete in this legendary race, the company decided to use a car powered by an HDi diesel engine with a DPFS (diesel particulate filter system). With more than 200,000 spectators, this event has presented Peugeot with an ideal opportunity to exemplify the values that it stands for: excellence, reliability, dynamism, looks, and innovation.
The vehicle that will wear the Peugeot colours in the Le Mans 24 Hours is the Peugeot 908, taking its name from the "90" of one of Peugeot's exceptional models and 8 as the continuation of the number sequence starting with the 907 concept car. This model was designed as a closed car in order to abide by the new rules established by the Automobile Club de l'Ouest on June 16, 2006. Additionally, its design pays homage to Peugeot's previous success in the race, having won in 1992 and 1993 with the 905.
Although the decision to create a closed car design has brought with it a range of disadvantages (weight, centre of gravity height, etc.), Peugeot Sport believes that it also comes with certain merits; namely, heightened rigidity and aerodynamics.
