Peugeot to Race Diesel-Powered RCZ Coupe at 24 Hours of Nurburgring



Peugeot has taken the wraps off its RCZ racers that will be on the starting grid of the forthcoming Nurburgring 24 Hour endurance race on May 15. The French automaker will take part in the famous race with two RCZs, both of which are powered by a 2.0-liter HDI turbocharged four-cylinder diesel engine pumping out 200HP.

The RCZs will compete in the D1T category for vehicles powered by diesel engines with a displacement between 1.7- and 2.0-liters. More details on the RCZ racers are expected to be released over the next few weeks.
