On 30th May 1916, the Peugeot L45 driven by Dario Resta won the mythical Indianapolis 500 race.
The Peugeot L500 R HYbrid hugs the asphalt to deliver its full potential right from pullaway. With its wide track, low profile (just one metre high) and light weight (1,000 kg), the Peugeot L500 R HYbrid is made for performance: it takes only 2.5 seconds to reach 100 km/h from standstill, and 19 seconds to cover 1000 metres.
Developed by Peugeot Sport, the 500-bhp plug-in hybrid petrol powertrain features two electric motors (one front and one rear) plus a 270hp petrol engine, yielding a peak torque of 730 Nm.
Style-wise, the sleek lines run from the lion badge on the radiator grille toward the driver to end in a streamlined rear feature (a nod to the car’s century-old ancestor), highlighting the three distinctive rear lamp claws that form part of Peugeot’s design identity today.
