Looks like a totally new car. But the current 9X8 has had a wing for some time now already. |

It is almost hard to believe it is a peugeot, but they announced the test themselves for anyone wondering : https://www.instagram.com/p/DbVerHVoAe9/ Will they really call it "9X8 Evo" ? It is completely different. It does give some 905 vibes (the first version) with its headlight and small rear wing boards. |

Yes i see. I'm just amazed they abandoned the no wing thing after stirring up so much about it |

Relying solely on ground effect was doomed to fail. No race track is perfectly smooth, especially a certain road course in France… The wingless cars will come to the next ALMS season: https://sportscar365.com/lemans/asian-lms/bbm-takes-delivery-of-wingless-peugeot-9x8s/ |

For sure. It's why it was banned to begin with. I applaud them for their efforts though. They made a fuss about it when they announced it. Kinda sad they couldn't pull through, made the car quite unique (and prettier than this one!) |
