Peugeot Debuts Hybrid Drive for Lemans

Earlier today, Pegeot unveiled their potential Hybrid 908 racecar. Known as the 908 HY, this car uses a system of batteries and energy retrieval to improve fuel consumption. Futhermore, Peugeot is showcasing a possible push-to-pass feature. In any case, racing just got a whole lot more expensive.

This isn’t the first racecar equipped like this on Supercars.net. We have already showcased the Vemac RD408-H which was the world’s first hybrid sports racing car.

Pegueot hope to have their car ready for the LeMans next year, but they are depending on the upcoming regulations that will govern them. For now, they have a functioning prototype which did a few laps earlier today on Silverstone before the LeMans Series races begin tomorrow.
