Overview
- At a Paris presentation, Peugeot showed a black-and-white 9X8 with red accents described as a 'hypergraphic' design meant to express the brand's performance language.
- Peugeot confirmed two trios for 2026: No. 93 with Loïc Duval, Malthe Jakobsen and Théo Pourchaire, and No. 94 with Nick Cassidy, Paul di Resta and Stoffel Vandoorne.
- The livery doubles as a showcase for the revived GTi label and the forthcoming E-208 GTi, extending across cars, race suits and team apparel.
- Peugeot will continue evolving the 9X8 rather than launching a new car, following recent updates such as the adoption of a rear wing and wider rear tires.
- Management has been restructured with Jean-Marc Finot retiring, Olivier Jansonnie now leading Stellantis' European motorsport and Emmanuel Esnault responsible for team performance, as testing ramps up in March before the March 28 season opener at Lusail.
