Like the Peugeot 908 HDi FAP, which was launched onto the world’s motor sport stage in Italy, the Peugeot Bipper “Beep Beep” will also be first seen in Italy.
With the Peugeot 908 HDi FAP, the Peugeot Sport team in its first year of participation in the Le Mans Series managed to win all six races of the 2007 programme and achieve a magnificent second place in the legendary Le Mans 24 Hours.
Competence, precision, efficiency, endurance and speed are therefore prized qualities within the Peugeot Sport team. They are also present in Peugeot’s new Bipper van, which is just as ready to meet the expectations of the many users who will choose this new vehicle as their day to day team mate.
There are other points in common too between the 908, “winner of the 2007 Le Mans Series” and the Bipper “Beep Beep”… such as versatility and the ability to weave in and out of traffic… or indeed their diesel engines incorporating HDi diesel particle filter system (DPFS) technology, albeit delivering power of an entirely different order – plus or minus a nought in the middle – (more than 700 bhp for one and 70 bhp for the other!).
To strengthen further the links with Peugeot Sport, the “Beep Beep” shares the same colour scheme as the Peugeot 908 HDi FAP: matt black sides, red bonnet and roof and a white stripe running lengthways along the vehicle. Its sides display the stylised lion’s head of Peugeot Sport, with the numbers 7 and 8 adjacent to the side windows in a reference to each of the competition 908 HDi FAP race cars. The vehicle’s special gold tinted windows are designed to mimic the visors of the 908 driver’s helmets.
In terms of wheels and suspension, the brakes are now 313 mm diameter discs at the front and black 18” alloy wheels are fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport 225/45 R 18 tyres.
