Diesel in road cars is basically dead, it's not a future-proof technology and I highly doubt anyone will start a multi-million dollar LMP programme to advertise a technology that will have disappeared in 8-10 years time.
And as far as Peugeot being "in talks" is concerned, they've been in talks all the time, it usually ends with their "it's too expensive" complaints
