Peugeot will undertake a major evolution of its avant-garde 9X8 for next year with a raft of changes that are expected to include the addition of the rear wing.
The French manufacturer’s motorsport boss, Jean-Marc Finot, has revealed that the in-house Peugeot Sport team is undertaking what he described as a “big evolution” of the 9X8 Le Mans Hypercar, which made its debut in the World Endurance Championship last summer. He revealed that the overhaul of a design that has so far finished no better than third in the Hypercar class of the WEC will include a switch away from the same width tyres all round for which the 9X8 hybrid was conceived.
“The schedule is very tight and we will do our best,” he said. “The schedule is not totally frozen; we have to negotiate this schedule with the FIA and the Automobile Club de l’Ouest .” His comments suggest that Peugeot could start its 2024 campaign with the existing version of the 9X8 before bringing the revised car on stream in the run-up to the Le Mans 24 Hours in June.
