FROM THE PEUGEOT 905 TO THE PEUGEOT 9X8: 30 YEARS OF OUTSTANDING INNOVATION AND PERFORMANCE

For more than 210 years, PEUGEOT has been moving in step with the times and has been anticipating changes in behaviour and paving the way for new mobility solutions. As the ultimate technological testing ground, motorsport gives PEUGEOT the perfect opportunity to fully roll out its innovative capacities: the PEUGEOT 9X8, the Brand's new Hypercar was just unveiled at the beginning of the summer and will soon to be racing in the Endurance and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Thirty years ago, in 1991, it was the PEUGEOT 905 that enshrined the Brand's pioneering spirit and values - Excellence, Allure and Emotion - which have enabled it to weather all the revolutions of the last two centuries - industrial, technological, political, social, digital and now environmental. This is all part of PEUGEOT’s DNA. PEUGEOT's great adventure at Le Mans and in endurance racing began in the early 1990s. That was when PEUGEOT returned to the Sarthe circuit as an official team. PEUGEOT entered the World Sportscar Championship (WSC, also known as the World Endurance Championship) with the 905 and went on to take part in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
