Australian Internation Motorshow to exhibit motorsport greats
The Sydney Motor Show in October will feature a wide range of motorsport icons this year. Making up the presence will be Peugeot's 24 Hour Le Mans 908 car. Also on hand will be Bruce Garland's Isuzu D-MAX Dakar racer.

The car will be central to Peugeot's stand, symbolising the company's dedication towards providing fuel efficient performance. There's also an Australian connection linked to this Le Mans winner; it was driven by David Brabham, along with co-drivers Alexander Wurz and Mark Gene. The car is equipped with a 515kW V12 diesel engine dispersing around 1200Nm worth of torque.
