Peugeot 2008 Dakar racer unveiled [w/video]

A few weeks ago we brought you news of Peugeot’s return to the arduous Dakar Rally. It seems that the French firm’s official motorsport arm, Peugeot Sport, has been busy since it’s last works outing at the Pike’s Peak International Hillclimb.

The 2008 DKR was unveiled in this cagey (sorry) video. There are no technical details available as yet but we won’t bet against some form of diesel power. With a driving team that includes former World Rally champion and Dakar winner Carlos Sainz, as well as Dakar legend Cyril Despres, it seems that the Minis and locally built Toyota Hiluxes will have a tough battle for podium spots in the 2015 edition of the famous race.
