After its debut in the WEC in 2012, which included three victories in six races, the team returns with ambition to win both the Le Mans 24 Hours and the WEC title. Alex Wurz, Nicolas Lapierre and Kazuki Nakajima team up again in the #7 vehicle. The #8 will compete outside of Le Mans for the first time, with Anthony Davidson, Stéphane Sarrazin, and Sébastien Buemi driving.
The system used is capacitor-based and delivers 223kW of boost automatically, on top of the 395kW generated by a 3.4-litre, normally-aspirated V8 petrol engine.
