This car is known to be a diesel electric hybrid, and hybrids are really the future of LMP racing. (Photo: Racecar Engineering) ยป More Photos

Manufacturer: Peugeot Sport
Classes: LMP1
Chassis: 908 HDI FAP
Engine: Peugeot 5500cc V12 twin turbo
Fuel: Diesel
Entries: 7, 8, 9
Prediction: Victory or DNF

head to head this year the 908 has shown higher tops speeds, apex speeds and is simply a faster car. But it has also shown a lack of reliability compared to the R10.

Read the preview in its entirety here.
