Peugeot weapon of choice was the Peugeot 908 HDi FAP, and of course, that strange mix of capital letters and numbers may possibly mean nothing to you, but how about this? A turbo-diesel 5. 5 liter V12 engine making 730 hp, and 890 ft-lbs of torque. To place it into perspective, the 908 HDi FAP makes almost doubly much torque as a Pagani Zonda R, and it has a smaller engine as well. However, regardless of the magnificence and allure with this amazing piece of machinery and its fantastic history, none of these figures mean any such thing anymore, because as of the season 2012 Peugeot has chose to withdraw from endurance motorsports and end its globally-known reign in endurance racing.

The main reason? Apparently Peugeot 407 Problems has been struggling to make ends meet in the economy for quite a while now, sufficient reason for ever-increasing debts Peugeot Forums has predicted its bleak future and aims to intercept that fate - even if this means leaving its 908 HDi FAP behind and in the books. Peugeot claims that the economic environment in Europe is to blame, and Reuters business news reports that Peugeot plans to cut nearly 6, 000 jobs in 2012, among other cuts - all in the name of making financial space for Peugeot's launch of five new cars, two which are hybrids.
