The 908 RC concept is powered by Peugeot´s 700 horse power V12 HDi DPFS diesel engine designed specifically for the action in the 2007 "Le Mans Race Series". The abbreviation "RC" in the name of this powerful concept car is used to distinguish Peugeot sports car models from ordinary budget and family cars Peugeot is producing.


For Peugeot, that something is the 908 RC, a design study to be displayed at the Paris auto show this month. The sleek black 908 RC is an answer to the S-Class or 7 Series, a lux limo powered by a 700-horsepower V-12 diesel designed for endurance racing.
