This photo not only makes me happy, it also reminds me of a time when each new American Le Mans Series season held great intrigue for the innovative machinery that would appear at the Wheels Down Winter Test.
The Peugeot 908’s 5.5-liter turbodiesel V12 was the most powerful–and most elusive–of its generation, and after a few days of stalking, I finally captured the beast, in its full and uncovered glory, during the 2009 WDWT at Sebring. Along with any aero changes or other differences we could spot, the first-look opportunities at WDWT made the cross-country trip worth the effort.
