Peugeot has revealed its 9X8 Hypercar, which the brand hopes will recapture the 24 Hours of Le Mans trophy and the World Endurance Championship crown when it races in 2022.

If there’s one thing that motorsport history has shown us, it’s that anything can be a race car. A phrase often used is that the first race happened when someone built the second car, and that’s something Peugeot really took to heart in 1995.

This past weekend’s 24 Hour of Le Mans was the end of an era. After a history stretching back more than 25 years, the Le Mans Prototype (LMP) effectively bowed out as the event’s top category.

Peugeot has confirmed plans to return to the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2022 with a new hypercar programme. Parent company Groupe PSA revealed the good news on Wednesday morning. The brief statement confirms its intentions to not only compete in Le Mans, but to contest in the 2022 World Endurance Championship (WEC) as a whole.

Peugeot has released a slew of official images and information about the new 208 hatchback, more than a week before its full public debut.

The second generation Peugeot 508 made its debut at the 2018 Geneva Auto Show. For this year’s event, the French automaker is back with another new 508 that really packs a punch.

The retro designs just keep on coming. This latest comes courtesy of Peugeot, in what’s quickly becoming a long line of throwbacks that will roll out at the Paris Motor Show.

There’s something cool about movie cars. In fact, we’ve featured a few in previous Wants such as the Land Rover Defender from Spectre or the 350Z from Tokyo Drift. This week we are taking a look at another film car, the Peugeot 406 from Taxi.

Anyone who’s a fan of classic rally cars: listen up. Bigmoon Studios announced that pre-orders of its upcoming Dakar 18 game will get the 1987 Peugeot 205 T16 “Grand Raid”.

Peugeot has taken the covers off its new 508 saloon, due for an official reveal at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show.

Peugeot is on a bit of a roll as of late. It was a company that, back in the 1980s, was known for its sporty versions of regular hatchbacks. The 205 GTI is pretty much an icon of its time, but the company also made cars like the 309 GTI (which was better) and the 405 Mi16.

In the European market, the B-segment hatchback is king. Despite the ever-growing popularity of the crossover, and the unflinching continental dominance of the Volkswagen Golf, manufacturers sell more B-segment hatchbacks than anything type of car.

Back in May 2016, we got our first look at the Peugeot Vision GT car. The Peugeot L500 R HYbrid was exactly the kind of madness we expected. Now, for the launch of Gran Turismo Sport, Peugeot is updating the L500 with a newer version dubbed the “L750 R HYbird”.

Welcome to Wednesday Want. Each week, our team will pluck a car from our thousands-strong Car Suggestions forum and give it some time in the spotlight. From the weird to the wonderful, we’ll be covering the full automotive spectrum. You can check out past Wednesday Want entries right here.

In the Wednesday Want section we do love a car that has been completely overshadowed by a more famous sibling, and the Peugeot 309 GTI might be the very tip of cars of this type.

In a JeuxVideo interview published last week from the Peugeot Vision GT launch event in Paris, Kazunori Yamauchi gave a direct answer when asked about the possibility of the Peugeot 208 Pikes Peak coming to the Gran Turismo series: yes.

Peugeot’s Vision GT concept car was released in GT6 update 1.19 earlier this morning, and it’s quite an interesting beast, boasting an (almost) 1:1 power-to-weight ratio.

The start of June brings a fresh new GT6 update, version 1.19, available now as a 270MB download. Although it doesn’t bring any new game features, it does bring two highly anticipated cars – including one of the most intriguing new race cars to come along in quite some time.

After releasing some mysterious teasers last week, Peugeot finally pulled the wraps off their official Vision Gran Turismo project today. It has turned out to be quite an unusual, beastly hyper car, with no side windows and boasting a 1:1 power-to-weight ratio.
