The Fastest Le Mans Car EVER - Until It EXPLODED

Mike explains the story behind the crazy one-hit-wonder Peugeot WM P88. They knew they weren’t going to win the Le Mans 24 Hours, so they at least wanted to achieve something with their twin-turbo V6 car. So they waited for the evening to cool the air, taped up all the cracks on the car, and cranked the turbos up to achieve over 900bhp and send it down the Mulsanne straight at a new record speed – 252mph – the first car to achieve over 400kph at Le Mans. The speeds the Peugeot reached forced the ACO to change the Mulsanne straight, whacking in two massive chicanes that exist to this day, massively slowing down the once legendary long straight.
