It’s a race car, but not as we know it... The new 908 HY (right) has a diesel-electric hybrid powertrain, and is Peugeot’s hope for glory at the 2009 Le Mans 24 Hours. It’s fitted with a 60kw electric motor and 10 lithium-ion battery packs, which are topped up through regenerative braking. The result? A 20-second power boost each lap which the driver can use to overtake or save fuel. Bosses are keen to stress the car’s technology will filter on to future road models.
