Just been to the paris motorshow. The new Peugeot looks really really good. The pictures don't give a very good idea of the size of the car, it really takes up a large area.

It seems to be wider and longer than the Audi R10, but maybe that it is not right as I'm sure they are set by rule restrictions so therefore very similar.

It's not also very clear how the drivers will get in and out.. i.e no doors. Seen somewhere the whole canopy may lift like a fighter jet!

Hopefully they have more respect for Le Mans then Audi and put a decent roar in it. Because that R10 is just disrespectful to all the spectators.
