Peugeot revealed an updated version of their L500 R
Vision Gran Turismo concept, called the L750 R. The new Peugeot L750 R HYbrid
Vision Gran Turismo is an evolution of the original virtual racer, designed to
offer greater performance while adopting the French company’s latest design
cues.
Peugeot says that under the skin, the new L750 R is
using a combination of a 580 PS petrol engine with a 170 PS electric motor,
bringing the total up to -you guessed it- 750 PS, or 739 hp in our money.
The virtual concept also features an innovative
dual-circuit hydraulic braking system, carbon disc brakes, front and rear
suspension that vary the height of the car according to speed, and
forged-magnesium alloys. The all-carbon structure also enables the Peugeot L750
R to tip the scales at just 825kg, which is 175kg lighter than the original.
The new car will be available exclusively in the PS4
Gran Turismo Sport, with Peugeot even throwing an online 24-Hour distance race
on its official Twitter account.
