Peugeot reveals updated 2008 DKR 16 [w/video]

Peugeot has revealed its updated 2008 DKR 16 racing car, which will participate in the 2016 Dakar Rally.

The new car is 200mm longer and 200mm wider that the previous model. The suspension has also been optimised, while the weight distribution has been improved.

The DKR 16 still uses a twin-turbo V6 turbodiesel, which develops 261kW and 800Nm of torque.

All that power is still only sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual sequential gearbox.
