Peugeot weapon of preference was the Peugeot 908 HDi FAP, not to mention, that strange mixture of capital letters and numbers may mean nothing to you, but think about this? A turbo-diesel 5. 5 liter V12 engine making 730 hp, and 890 ft-lbs of torque. To put it into perspective, the 908 HDi FAP makes almost two times as much torque as a Pagani Zonda R, and has a smaller engine as well. However, despite the magnificence and allure with this amazing piece of machinery and its own fantastic history, none of those figures mean such a thing anymore, because at the time of the entire year 2012 Peugeot has decided to withdraw from endurance motorsports and end its globally-known reign in endurance racing.

The reason? Apparently Peugeot 407 Problems has been struggling to make ends meet throughout the market for quite some time now, and with ever-increasing debts Peugeot Forums has predicted its bleak future and aims to intercept that fate - even if it means leaving its 908 HDi FAP behind and in the books. Peugeot claims that the economic environment in Europe is to blame, and Reuters business news reports that Peugeot plans to cut nearly 6, 000 jobs in 2012, among other cuts - all in the name of making financial space for Peugeot's launch of five new cars, two of which are hybrids.
