Peugeot 9X8 Le Mans Hypercar shown in new images | Evo

Peugeot has given us a closer look at its new 9X8 Le Mans Hypercar contender ahead of its 2022 debut -

in the World Endurance Car Championship. The 9X8 will make its competitive debut later this year, and has the expectations on its shoulders of giving Peugeot its fourth Le Mans win – a tall order against so much new competition.

Under the tall rear fin sits a bespoke 2.6-litre twin-turbo 90-degree V6 petrol engine mounted longitudinally behind the driver in a mid-rear layout. The engine will produce a maximum of 671bhp and power the rear wheels via a seven-speed sequential transmission. The decision to develop this new V6 was drawn from its ideal compromise between power density, packaging and weight, hitting the scales at 165kg.
