Race winning Peugeot 908 at 2011 12 Hours of Sebring

Maaco Fremont watched the 59th running of the 12 Hours of Sebring on ESPN.  We thought we were watching a NASCAR event instead of American Le Mans. Endurance racing used to be tough enough without worring about other racers hitting you on purpose. No longer. Drivers bumped & grinded all 12 hours. Cars were destroyed, carried back to the pits, rebuilt and went back out on the track. Favorites from Audi & Ferrari were totaled allowing Peugeot to win overall for the 2nd year in a row and BMW to win the GT2 class.

Here's footage from one of the big crashes that took out the Ferrari 458:

- 200 anniversary of the brand

- New Style of Management offers mobility and a new visual identity

It was in 1810 that Jean-Pierre and Jean Frederic Peugeot has flour mill from their father in a steel foundry and Peugeot took the family in the industrial era.

Now, 200 years later, a new chapter in the history of Peugeot is opening a further development of the brand, a new management style, a new company Lion badge and a new signature - Peugeot PROPOSAL & EMOTION.

See the individual products and the visual face of the brand in the eyes of current and future customers. Peugeot to evolve and adapt to future challenges in the current Peugeot style turns a new look, typical of the new concept car Peugeot SR1. This dream car is a new expression is stronger, more extreme and pure style Peugeot tomorrow and is also a distinctive feature of the Lion of the new company.

SR1 is a concept car also combine styles of technical characteristics. For example, contains HYbrid4 technology, which will be available on the Peugeot 3008 from 2011. SR1 is a 1.6-liter petrol THP front with a power of 218 hp in combination with the rear electric motor develops 95 horsepower. electric shock only mode, the car becomes the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) that the fuel consumption of 57.7 mpg kombi and 119 g / km of CO2.

When the two power plants operated simultaneously, the SR1 develops a maximum power of 313 horsepower potential while benefiting from four-wheel drive.

Using HYbrid4 technology that will eventually be available in different models of the Peugeot range, the concept SR1 offers convincing evidence that driving pleasure can be combined with respect for the environment.

dynamic performance of the car is reinforced by a rigid structure composed of a lightweight one-piece body comprises a tubular chassis, which is equipped with mechanical components and suspension.

Better exploitation of existing technology to provide the dignified treatment of this unique concept, is double-wishbone suspension with links to the front and back. For even greater driving precision SR1 also innovates with the approval of four-wheel steering. Motorized links wishbones at the rear controls the angle of the rear wheels depending on vehicle speed, resulting in superb agility of the vehicle at all times.

The first production vehicle to demonstrate this new Leo is the stunning Peugeot RCZ launched in the spring.

To reduce their carbon footprint and dependence on fossil fuels, Peugeot has been actively investing in a range of new technologies to meet the mobility needs in the future, without sacrificing driving pleasure.

Today, Peugeot is continuing to improve the efficiency of the engine of his strategy of "downsizing", for both petrol and diesel HDi FAP. In addition, the brand is also working on a new three petrol engines.

Tomorrow, the range of cars will consist of:

100% electric – The first product called the i0n, which will initially be launched onto the European market at the end of 2010, is compact and very easy to drive, and can easily accommodate four people in its spacious interior. Offering good levels of driveability in all circumstances, it is designed for the urban and suburban traffic of Europe’s large cities.

Powered by Li-ion batteries that give it a top speed of 80 mph and a range of 80 miles when fully charged, they can be recharged fully in six hours via a standard household electrical socket or to 80% of their capacity in just 30 minutes, via a bespoke rapid recharging unit.

In terms of light commercial vehicles (LCVs), from the spring of 2010, a 100% electric Partner Origin van will also be available, with a load capacity of 3 m3.

Micro-Hybrid – Peugeot’s e-HDi system will be widely introduced across the Marque’s model range from the end of 2011. It will reduce both fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by up to 15%.

Full-Hybrid – In the spring of 2011, the 3008 HYbrid4 will combine environmental efficiency and versatility in day-to-day use.

This innovative technology allows:

a reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of 35% (74.3 mpg, 99g of CO2)
a “zero emission” mode when the vehicle is driven in electric only mode, benefiting fuel economy and silent operation
a boost to performance, with a potential maximum power output of 200 bhp
As the electric power train is mounted at the rear of the vehicle it also provides a number of other benefits such as the ability to provide all wheel drive.

The Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4 will be the first diesel hybrid on the market and will be followed by other Peugeot hybrid models.

HYbrid4 Plug-in - In 2012, Peugeot will be introducing plug-in HYbrid4 technology for a further reduction in emissions levels: the target is less than 50g of CO2/km and 141 mpg.

This environmental strategy followed by the Marque also applies to its two-wheeled vehicles produced by Peugeot Scooters.

Peugeot is currently developing an electric bicycle in partnership with Ultra Motor. It is powered by an electric motor combined with a removable 36 volt Li-ion battery pack, offering a range of 44 miles.

The E-Vivacity, a 100% electric scooter with a power equivalent to that of a 50 cm3 petrol engined scooter, is a new eco-friendly mode of transport, which is reasonably priced and offers extremely low maintenance and running costs.

Its Li-ion battery pack can be fully recharged in 4 hours and recharged to 80% of its capacity in 2 hours, offering a range from 50 to 62 miles.

Clean and quiet, with good acceleration from a standing start and a maximum speed of 28 mph, it blends seamlessly into urban traffic. The production model will be unveiled at the end of 2010 and will go on sale in 2011. With 15 years experience in this type of technology, Peugeot is perfectly placed to maximise every opportunity.

On the strength of the technology already deployed in its cars and two-wheelers, Peugeot is rising to the environmental challenge of today and tomorrow. Peugeot is, however, going further with a comprehensive response to the mobility needs of the future.

Capitalising on its comprehensive range of cars, light commercial vehicles, scooters and cycles, Peugeot has created an original mobility service offer called, Mu by Peugeot.

This unique and innovative service allows everyone, whether or not they own a vehicle, and whether or not they are already a Peugeot customer, to access a range of mobility services, all by means of a pre-paid credit card which can be topped up online. The principle is simple: customers top up their cards by purchasing mobility units directly on the website. These mobility units can then be used in two different ways:

To rent products and accessories from the Peugeot range, such as a private vehicle (207, 308 CC, 3008…) for a weekend away, a bicycle for a family outing, a scooter for getting around town, a commercial vehicle for moving house or an accessory for a special journey: GPS, roof rack, etc…
To purchase services from one of the programmes partners. The card holder can book a plane or train ticket, a hotel room, or organise a personalised journey. Driving lessons, an introduction to eco-friendly driving or advanced driving lessons can also be booked.

The programme has already been trialled successfully in a number of cities in France and among 20,000 group employees. In December 2009, 27 Parisian sites were introduced to the current programme, including Peugeot dealers, Peugeot Scooter dealers, and Peugeot Avenue, the Marque’s ‘shop window’ on the Champs Elysées. Roll-out in a number of other European cities is planned in the near future: Berlin, Rome, London, Brussels and Madrid…

So far, 42% of Mu by Peugeot users make use of this service to experience Peugeot’s range of private vehicles and with Mu by Peugeot, the Marque is forging new relationships with its customers. It is also a service that generates additional point of sale traffic by attracting new customers, and is, therefore, also a means of winning market share for the Marque.

Since 1810, Peugeot has associated its name, and later its Lion emblem, to hand-saws, tools, steel crinoline stays, coffee grinders, salt and pepper grinders, bicycles, motorcycles, scooters, cars and light commercial vehicles. To each of these worlds Peugeot has brought passion and innovation, while laying emphasis on its industrial origins based in particular on strong principles and the working of steel.

Now a new and exciting chapter is about to start!

908 HDI FAP 2010

At the time of the finish of one-two at Le Mans this time last year, Peugeot is looking for a second consecutive victory in the prestigious French race. Twelve months of hard work of preparation since June 2009 have kept the team under pressure in their attempt to repeat the success of this unique event that attracts more popular than 250,000 spectators a year.

From 2009-2010: scenes of emotion and a lot of hard work, if only for foreigners, and the pitfalls of the play, which have always been an integral part of feeling Le Mans 24 hours a day and the joy that come win a big race in the French language is completely unique. When the Peugeot had the privilege of tasting success at Le Mans in 2009, was able to measure the wave of passion, therefore, ask that the public and the entire company. Victorious in the 908 HDi FAP and its three drivers - Alexander Wurz, Marc Gene and David Brabham - began almost immediately, "lap of honor" tour, which lasted from June to September, before the machine finally the way back to Vélizy laboratories of the team. Since then, his gaze firmly, 2010, the anniversary of 200 years of Peugeot Team Peugeot Total not take your eye off the ball nothing.

Last January, the French automaker released details of its new project, which - in line with the signing of a brand of all-new Peugeot, business and emotional - continues to put emotions at the heart of motor racing and motor sport is long been deeply ingrained in the DNA of Peugeot.

Careful preparation after the checkered flag fell from the visit last year to 14 June 2009 in Le Mans, the team's preparations are in the form of three races and 11 of the testing sessions, including a simulation run, the set-up and to progress with Michelin tires completely. "Our work is focused on the regulation of the 908 HDi FAP in the 2010 regulations, which essentially means that the engine and chassis," says Peugeot Sport Technical Director Bruno Famin. "Only the change in shape is the result of years to adapt to this new engine. We tried to recover the lost power due to the change of the rules involved with Bosch is lit, the fight against energy loss through friction with the total efficiency and improve the flow of intake and exhaust with the Dow.

All the things that gave us problems in 2009, is also taken into account, even if we have helped in our ongoing effort to improve reliability. This is the fourth and final competition of the 908 HDi FAP. It 's a very good coach and I think we can expect an incredibly exciting Le Mans 24 hours, I think it's very close to the flag of the flag. "

Millet 100 of Spa-Francorchamps in May gave a foretaste of what fans can expect at Le Mans, namely a long sustained sprint where the slightest mistake or misjudgment on the track, in pits or in words strategy could prove very costly. It was therefore considered essential for the team to get in the practice of real-world race to give everyone a chance to repeat their roles in the kind of pressure that only a competitive offer. In October of last year's 10 hours Petit Le Mans, March's 12 Hours of Sebring and the last 100 million spa, all tours, which have helped make Team Peugeot Total operation more mature, a process facilitated by his one-doubled in all three races. To date, the 908 HDi FAP carved an extraordinary item of 15 wins in 21 starts, including classics such as Le Mans, Sebring, Petit Le Mans, etc.

After returning from three factories Spa 908 HDi FAP have been stripped of everything that has been thoroughly checked and reviewed by the inquiry to be held in Le Mans Sunday, June 6. At the same time, the mechanics of the team were committed Vélizy workshop to train the wheel changes and long-term work to ensure that they are ready for any eventuality. "We also run in some parts of Le Mans, Magny-Cours," said Bruno Famin and test drive the latest car to be designed for their purposes, near Paris. When the week of the race starts, we will use the first part of Wednesday and Thursday for free and eligible to work in practice set-up in our three cars and to evaluate fuel consumption and tire performance, but at the same time to gather as much information as possible, we need this weekend . after the race Wednesday night, the engines modified to save the race. "

"We see ourselves as the challengers again, despite last year's win"

"Our win at Le Mans in 2009 did a great deal for the team's confidence," notes Peugeot Sport's Director Olivier Quesnel. "This time last year, we had the impression that our backs were to the wall. Today, we are still under pressure, but we have used that pressure to make positive progress. Le Mans is the greatest race in the world and we all felt a big sense of pride when we succeeded in beating Audi which has been the benchmark in endurance racing for many years. We have done everything in our power to prepare as thoroughly as possible to repeat that win, but everyone is aware that this is a long race during which anything can happen. However much work you put in, it's Le Mans itself that decides who walks away with the trophy at the end. I am expecting an extremely intense race because I am sure that our main rival has evolved, as we saw at Spa. And we mustn't overlook the other cars, either. The Aston Martins, for example, enjoy greater top speed compared with last year, and that can sometimes force our drivers to take risks when overtaking. This is our car's fourth year of racing, so, in this respect, we see ourselves as the challengers again, despite last year's win…"
