Peugeot first showed off their new diesel powered LeMans challenger at the Paris Motor Show last September. This June they will we taking on the totally dominant Audi R10s at le Sarthe and it should make for an exciting show. The first track testing photos of the new 908 HDi in raw carbon fiber with a few sponsor stickers at the Paul Ricard circuit in France were just revealed. Peugeot also announced the addition of ChampCar veteran Sebastien Bourdais and former Formula 1 champion Jacques Villeneuve to the driving lineup for the two cars running at LeMans. The drive to get the best possible mileage while maintaining performance is continuing to demonstrate that efficiency and speed are not mutually incompatible.
