Twelve months of hard preparation work since June 2009 have kept the team under pressure in its bid to secure repeat success on this uniquely popular event which attracts more than 250,000 spectators annually. From 2009 to 2010: emotions aplenty and a great deal of exacting work If only because of the unknowns, drama and potential pitfalls that have always been part and parcel of the Le Mans 24 Hours, the emotion and joy that come from winning the great French race are absolutely unique. When Peugeot had the privilege of tasting Le Mans success in 2009, it was able to measure the wave of passion its result prompted, both among the public and across the company. The victorious 908 HDi FAP and its three drivers – Alexander Wurz, Marc Gené and David Brabham – embarked almost immediately on a 'lap of honour' tour which lasted from June until September before the car finally made its way back to the team's Vélizy workshops. Since then, with its sights set firmly on 2010, the year of Peugeot's 200th anniversary celebrations, Team Peugeot Total hasn't taken its eye off the ball in the slightest. Last January, the French carmaker released details of its new project which – in keeping with the brand's new brand signature: Peugeot, MOTION & EMOTION – continues to put emotion at the heart of motoring, and motor sport has long been deeply rooted in Peugeot's DNA. http://www.peugeot.com/en/news/2010/6/10/le-mans-24-hours--peugeot's-le-mans-offensive.aspx sophie.cassar Thu, 10 Jun 2010 14:27:00 GMT http://peugeotcom.peugeot01.web.vm.4ddigital.co.uk/16751.aspx Peugeot, whose worldwide focus is to develop innovative mobility products, is participating in this edition of the Challenge Bibendum in Rio de Janeiro between 30th May and 3rd June 2010 with a range of vehicles: the Hoggar pick-up equipped with a flex-fuel engine, a prototype of the 207 Passion running on bio-Diesel and the 100% electric BB1 concept car. Peugeot's involvement in this 10th edition of the Challenge Bibendum with a host of different vehicles and technologies not only demonstrates its vision of the future for mobility, but also the importance of its business in Brazil, the host country for this 2010 edition.

Available exclusively as a 5 door model only, it combines a modern synthesis of versatility and driveability. Sporty driving in step with the times The 308 GTi has a sporty nature that is in tune with our current times: - well-heeled athleticism for day-to-day driving enjoyment and a high level of onboard comfort at all engine speeds but, stopping short of being a specialist vehicle, yet still able to offer real excitement when its “driver” asks more of it. - environmentally-friendly, combining good levels of performance with fuel consumption of only 6.9 litres/100 km for 159 g/km of CO2. The 1.6 litre THP 147 kW (200 bhp) engine - Maximising efficiency At the heart of the vehicles sporty nature is the all new 1.6 litre THP 147 kW (200 bhp) engine, launched simultaneously in the RCZ Coupé, a key factor in the overall efficiency of the 308 GTi. http://www.peugeot.com/en/news/2010/5/20/308-gti-emotion-without-compromise.aspx sophie.cassar Thu, 20 May 2010 17:00:00 GMT http://peugeotcom.peugeot01.web.vm.4ddigital.co.uk/16686.aspx The Peugeot Germany team's "200 years" RCZ won the 38th Nürburgring 24 Hours in the under-2L Diesel category. To mark the launch of its exceptional Peugeot RCZ coupé as well as its bicentenary, Peugeot took part in this mythical event around the Nürburgring race course for the first time by placing two cars in competition. This race, which has a strong following in Germany, attracts 220,000 spectators every year with over 211 cars lining up on the starting grid. The RCZ No. 201 driven by Jürgen Nett - Joey Kelly - Michael Bohrer - Henning Klipp took first place in the D1T category sharing the podium with the RCZ No. 200 driven by Jean-Philippe Peugeot - Stéphane Caillet - Cyrus Ayari - Olivier Perez, which took 3rd place in the same category. The success of the RCZ is down to the car's remarkable reliability, the performance of the HDI FAP engine with 200 hp and the efficiency of its running gear. These factors all contributed to the successful outcome of this race.
