The 908 HDi 5.5L V12 turbodiesel engine was projected even before peugeot sport started the development of the car. Mecachrome in late '90 obtained the license to supply the f1 3.0 V10 renault engine to williams, after the official retirment of the french manufacturer at the end of 1997 season. If the article is about the former 908HDi engine, very likely mecachrome obtained the license. Anyway the peugeot 5.5 V12 was bigger and terribly heavy (according to forza motorsport games, the 908HDi had more than 60% of weight on rear) is hard to insert this kind of engine inside a chassis that hasn't been projected on purpose.
