New Peugeot 908 HY for the European Le Mans Series

The European Le Mans Series will show us a great Peugeot finale. The company is going to get a new 908 HY race care based on the 908 HDi FAP which you might remember from this year’s 24 Hours Race at Le Mans. What’s interesting about the new version is that it’s a hybrid race care

Under the hood, the 908 HY will have a KERS, a 60kW electric motor, ten lithium-ion battery packs arranged in two different locations and a power converter to turn all that juice into power. The 908 HY can also run its V12 engine or combine the two. The electric motor can be powered automatically or whenever the driver feels like getting some more power. The electric motor can get him an extra 80 horsepower for about 20 seconds. The whole hybrid system will also save some fuel, as it’s a hybrid after all.

The car is ready to race. If the officials will allow it, you might see a whole new Peugeot lining up at Le Mans Series races.
