Peugeot

Over the past week, French carmaker Peugeot has been slowly releasing images of what appears to be its Vision Gran Turismo project car. They kicked things off with the teaser video below, and have shown more of the car with the gradual release of images.

Take a look at the first two video clips of the Gran Turismo 5 demo running track-side at this past weekend’s 24 Hours of Le Mans. Thanks to our friends at French GT5rs.com for the footage!

The first pictures from the Le Mans 2010 GT5 trackside demo are trickling in, and it’s very good to see Peugeot Team Sport’s 908 HDi FAP in its 2010 livery is playable on La Sarthe! Six-time WRC world champion and GT super-fan Sébastien Loeb is also on-hand at the Sony booth, and has set a 3’33.820 around the track in the 908. Expect more pictures, videos, and impressions very soon. Thanks to EvilNeal for the tip!

Last week, I mentioned Sony’s support of Team Peugeot Sport in the pending 24 Hours of Le Mans 2010 race, and that news has turned out to be even more promising than it first seemed. Why? It appears Sony is no longer just promoting the “Gran Turismo” brand, but now they’re getting specific with a big, bold Gran Turismo 5 logo on the car and on banners around the circuit. This is a change from just last month at the 24-hour Nurburgring race, where all the cars were sporting generic GT sponsorship.
