The striking new Peugeot 9X8 Le Mans Hypercar has made its debut at the 6hrs of Monza - Peugeot
. While it would be great to see the Peugeots excel in their first outing, the team’s expectations for now are levelled at treating Monza as an initial test-bed for the program’s first full season next year.
The cars and Peugeot Sport’s equipment will now make their way to Japan, where the next round of the WEC endurance championship will take place on the iconic Fuji Raceway, before the final round of the 2022 championship in Bahrain.Peugeot Sport Total Energie 9X8 Le Mans Hypercar This is obvious in both its technical makeup and design, the latter element overseen by Peugeot design director Matthias Hossann from the inception of the project. Such design influence is what has made the 9X8 so visually distinctive against its competition, with a low and streamlined aero package that does without any high-mounted wings.
A single-turbocharger layout was initially considered, but failed to hit Peugeot Sport’s centre-of-gravity targets. The engine is purely motorsport, with experience drawn from previous programs informing basic architecture of the engine itself. The block, for instance, is closely related to the V12 engine it used in its last endurance-class racer – the 2007 Peugeot 908 – while the turbocharger and combustion technology comes from its experience in WRC and Dakar.
