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.
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!)

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/

They added a wing??

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

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/
