Well. Peugeot are going at the Diesel-Hybrid road, where Audi is going Petrol-Hybrid (for their road cars).
So i do not see a factory Petrol-Hybrid from Peugeot, but maybe Audi.
Peugeot would want to show off that Diesel-Hybrid is better than Petrol-Hybrid, and what way is better that beating them at Le Mans?.
Besides the 908HY was a Diesel-Hybrid, so Peugeot already know that technology in race cars.
