Peugeot unveils 908 HY hybrid supercar
habser | 09/14/2008
It looks like the final round of the 2008 Le Mans Series at
Silverstone will bring something unique from Peugeot, the French
manufacturer: it’s new 908 HY, the hybrid supercar. Based on the 908
HDi, the 908 HY will feature a kinetic energy recovery system, that
enables a proportion of the kinetic energy produced under braking to be
either recovered or stored. Due to this the vehicle is improved in one
of two ways: either the performance will be increased without
increasing the fuel consumption of the or the fuel consumption will be
reduced for the same level of performance thanks to the availability of
stored mechanical energy.
