About the Peugeot 908 HDI FAP LMP1 #7 N. Minassian / P. Lamy / C. Klien 6th Place 24 Hours of Le Mans 2009 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Peugeot 908 HDI FAP reproduces the #7 car that finished sixth at the 2009 24 Hours of Le Mans with Minassian, Lamy and Klien. Built as a sealed one-piece body with sharp LMP1 aerodynamics. A genuine diesel-era prototype for a Le Mans display.

Peugeot's diesel-powered 908 challenged Audi's long-running dominance at Le Mans, and this documented 2009 finisher captures that competitive rivalry directly.

A Sealed Body Built for LMP1 Aerodynamics

With the panels fixed as a single casting, the model's whole presentation happens on the outside of the shell, and the 908's low, wide LMP1 bodywork with its enclosed cockpit and pronounced rear diffuser is exactly the kind of shape that rewards an uninterrupted casting. The Peugeot livery's blue and white graphics are applied with clean registration across the long bonnet and rear bodywork, and the wide front splitter and rear wing are cast with sharp, consistent edges. Shutlines run tight throughout, and the model's low stance faithfully captures the real car's aggressive, ground-hugging aerodynamic profile.

The 908's Role in the Diesel Le Mans Era

Peugeot's 908 HDI FAP was a direct diesel-powered response to Audi's similarly fuelled R10 and R15 prototypes, and the two manufacturers' rivalry defined Le Mans's top class through the second half of the 2000s. The 2009 race saw genuinely close competition between the marques, and a sixth-place finish for this particular entry represents solid points in a deep, competitive field rather than an outright win. For a Le Mans or LMP1 collection, this 908 documents an important chapter in the category's diesel prototype era.

Displayed alongside Audi's contemporary prototypes, it tells a genuinely complete story of that period's manufacturer rivalry.
