Peugeot previewed for the first time in the world the 908 HY, the new sportscar with an hybrid engine. On this occasion, Jean-Philippe Collin – Peugeot brand general manager – came to UK to present to the media what they consider as the future of motorsport. Even before the static presentation during the Paris Motorshow in October, Nicolas Minassian performed some laps of the Silverstone circuit with the brand new car. The driver attests that the pleasure is the same as behind the wheel of the 908 HDI he has been driving during the whole season.
Michel Barge declared: “Since Peugeot Sport is above all a competition team, we wanted to begin the 908 HY adventure with a dynamic presentation, and to prove the real technological progress that the hybrid development represents.
In conformity with the ACO announcement this morning, Peugeot announced that they are thinking of entering punctually the hybrid car in the 2009 Le Mans Series programme. Today offered a glimpse on motorsport's future, on the occasion of the final round of the most disputed and followed Le Mans Series season.
