Peugeot makes its return to top-level endurance racing in 2022 with the 9X8 Le Mans Hypercar.
Peugeot plans to enter two 9X8s in the 2022 season and has signed up several top drivers including ex-Formula One drivers Paul Di Resta and Kevin Magnussen, and 2013 Le Mans winner Loic Duval.
The 9X8 features a 2.6-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 that sends drive to the rear wheels via a 7-speed sequential transmission drive. It generates 670 hp on its own. An electric motor-generator drives the front wheels, and generates 268 hp on its own. In line with the rules, the two power units working together can only generate a maximum 670 hp. The rules also call for a minimum weight of 1,030 kilograms .
Electricity recovered from the motor-generator is stored in a 900-volt battery pack developed by Saft, a subsidiary of oil company and Peugeot technical partner Total Energies. The pack is housed in a carbon casing behind the driver, and underneath the fuel tank. Perhaps the most striking feature of the 9X8 is its lack of a rear wing, which is unusual for a modern race car. Peugeot doesn't want to reveal its secrets but hinted that the rest of the car's aerodynamic efficiency is what makes the wing-less design possible.Under the current rules, teams also need to offer a vehicle with a similar powertrain concept to their LMH cars for public sale, which Peugeot will do with future performance hybrid models.
