With no rear wing and a futuristic hybrid system, the Peugeot 9X8 is shaking up the world of endurance racing. More than just a race car, it’s a glimpse into the next generation of high-performance engineering.
Designed Without a Rear Wing
The Peugeot 9X8 breaks tradition by doing away with the rear wing entirely. Instead, it relies on innovative aerodynamic shaping to create downforce—challenging the norms of race car design.
680-Horsepower Hybrid Powertrain
Powered by a twin-turbo V6 engine paired with a 272-hp electric motor, the 9X8 delivers over 950 combined horsepower. This hybrid setup ensures brutal speed and smart energy recovery.
Tailor-Made Michelin Tires
Michelin created bespoke tires for the 9X8, engineered specifically for its weight balance and aerodynamic layout. These tires offer superior grip and endurance performance.
A Cockpit Like a Fighter Jet
Inside, the 9X8’s cockpit is minimal and mission-focused, inspired by aerospace design. Every element is crafted to enhance driver focus and control during extreme racing conditions.
A Name With Racing Heritage
The “9X8” nods to Peugeot’s iconic Le Mans racers, the 905 and 908. The “X” signals hybrid all-wheel drive, while the “8” aligns with the brand’s latest model naming.
Built With Sustainability in Mind
The 9X8 uses sustainable materials throughout its construction—an effort to push motorsport toward a greener future without compromising on performance.
Target: Le Mans Victory
The 9X8 was built with one goal: to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Its radical design and hybrid tech make it a serious contender on one of motorsport’s most legendary stages.
