Customers buying a new Peugeot will get a chance to win an all-expense paid trip to the 24 Hours Le Mans race happening in France this June 10 and 11. Two lucky winners and their companions will receive VIP access to the Le Mans Race, round-trip airfare, and hotel accommodations.
Customers are entitled to join the raffle upon purchase of a brand-new Peugeot vehicle at any authorized dealership nationwide. The current vehicle line-up includes 2008, 3008, and 5008 SUVs and the Traveller Premium.
The 91st staging of the 24 Hours Le Mans is an automobile endurance event at the Circuit Bugatti du Mans in Le Mans, France. Peugeot will enter its 9X8 Hypercar in the newly created Le Mans Hypercar (LMH) class in the World Endurance Championship, culminating in a return to the famous 24-hour race.
“We’re excited to offer our customers the once-in-a-lifetime experience to witness the sheer power and performance of the Peugeot 9X8 Hypercar and get exclusive VIP access during the 24 Hours Le Mans race in France—the birthplace of Peugeot,” said Maricar Parco, brand head of Peugeot Philippines.
Peugeot, present in more than 130 countries, sold more than 1,200,000 vehicles worldwide in 2021. The Peugeot brand is continuing its energy transition with an 80% electrified passenger car range and a 100% electrified commercial vehicle range. For more than 10 years, Peugeot has been perfecting its mastery of hybrid-electric technology in competition and on the road. The Peugeot 9X8 will succeed the 905 and 908, victorious at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, respectively in 1992 and 1993, and in 2009.
The 9X8 Hypercar is a four-wheel-drive racing prototype with a powertrain developed under the control of Peugeot Sport’s specialists. Its rear wheels are driven by a 2.6-liter, bi-turbo, 520kW, V6 internal combustion engine, while a bespoke, high-performance 200kW electric motor drives the front wheels. Like the motor, the silicon carbide-based inverter was developed in association with Marelli. The car’s high-voltage, the 900-volt battery was developed jointly with TotalEnergies/Saft and Michelin provides the tires in compliance with the Hypercar class’ regulations.
The 9X8 tips the scales at just 1,030kg and its tank holds up to 90 liters of TotalEnergies’ 100% renewable, Excellium Racing 100 fuel.
The pioneering hybrid-electric Hypercar made its competitive debut last July at Round 4 of the 2022 FIA World Endurance Championship (FIA WEC) in Monza, Italy.
