The works Peugeot 908 HDI FPA turbo diesel prototypes were fitted with a new front bodywork when they were unveiled for scrutineering at Le Mans .
The front section of the car is now fully enclosed and the bodywork now sweeps upward to generate more downforce at the front.
The air ducts designed to cool down the brakes have now been integrated inside the front plane in an effort to reduce drag, a major concern on Le Mans’ long straightaways.
