Peugeot Wins One with the Bipper?

The Bipper, the newest commercial vehicle from French firm Peugeot, will go on sale next summer. To mark the event, and celebrate the company's successes in the 2007 Le Mans Series (LMS) race championship, it's unveiled a concept version called the Beep.
The van shares its color scheme with the competition machine, the diesel-driven Peugeot 908 HDi FAP.

That includes matt black sides, red bonnet, and roof, plus a white stripe running lengthways along the vehicle. Its sides display the stylized lion's head of Peugeot Sport, with the numbers 7 and 8 adjacent to the side windows in a reference to each of the 908 HDi FAP race cars. The vehicle's special gold tinted windows are designed to mimic the visors of the 908 driver's helmets.

Revealed at the Bologna Motor Show in Italy, the other link between the Beep Beep and the race car is its diesel engine with particulate filter. The former produces 70 hp, the latter more than 700.

In its first year in the LMS, the 908 HDi FAP won all six races of the 2007 program and secured second place in the legendary Le Mans 24 Hours.
