NEW 908 LE MANS RACER WITH V8 TURBO DIESEL






A closed-cockpit car: The result shown from previous testing work is that there is minor difference between open and close cockpit cars in the base of their aerodynamic performance.This car provide additional safety for the drivers.

Engine
: We have made full use of our experience with the 908 V12 diesel engine.The angle of the vee is 90 degrees to improve the engine balance. The cubic capacity is 3.7 litres and the new engine produces a peak power of 550 bhp.

Four identical wheels
: This car has very good frictional contact between the wheels an the track.This aspect of the car's development carried out in close collaboration with the other partner Michelin.



“This was the deadline we set ourselves, although we knew we would almost certainly run into teething trouble given that this was an all-new car. One of the very positive points we found was that the car’s handling lived up to our expectations straight out of the box. Between the car’s track debut in 2010 and the 2011 Le Mans 24 Hours, we will have completed twelve tests in all, at a number of different circuits,” concludes Bruno Famin.
