Peugeot Unveils Rear-Wheel-Drive '2008 DKR' Model To Run In 2015 Dakar Rally

French carmaker Peugeot on Tuesday introduced the car that will run in the '15 edition of the Dakar Rally, according to Héctor Martínez of AS. The model is called the "Peugeot 2008 DKR" and will feature rear-wheel-drive transmission. Peugeot Sport Project Leader Jean-Christophe Pailler said, "We supplied Peugeot's Style Centre with the basic key dimensions, as well as other information such as the cabin space we required, plus the wheel size (37 in) and suspension travel. They also had aero data resulting from early simulation work." Pailler said of choosing rear-wheel-drive, "Given the off-road capability of two-wheel-drive transmission and its ability to run on sand, that's the choice we ultimately went for" (AS, 4/15).
