It’s time to bring some modern technology to the Assetto Corsa scene with this brilliant Peugeot 9XB Assetto Corsa mod.
The Peugeot 9XB Assetto Corsa mod is a hybrid race car from Peugeot for the top level of the World Endurance Championship. What’s really interesting is its design, it doesn’t have a typical rear wing.
Inside its sleek carbon fibre shell is a modern hybrid system. A 2.6L twin-turbo V6 gasoline engine powers the front, producing over 670 horsepower. A 272 hp electric motor also powers the rear wheels.
Peugeot Sport’s expert team spent years developing this new all-wheel drive hypercar. Their goal was to make it the fastest possible for Le Mans, within the new LMH rules. Besides being fast, it also needed to be very reliable for the challenging 24-hour race.
Powertrain:
- Engine: 2.6-liter twin-turbocharged V6 gasoline engine
- Power (Gasoline Engine): Over 670 horsepower (around 500 kW) driving the rear wheels. Regulations may limit the output at certain times.
- Electric Motor: 272 horsepower (200 kW) motor-generator unit driving the front axle.
- Hybrid System: All-wheel drive, with power distribution managed for optimal performance and efficiency.
- Battery: High-density 900-volt battery, co-developed by Peugeot Sport and TotalEnergies/Saft.
- Transmission: 7-speed sequential gearbox.
Dimensions & Weight (These might slightly vary in the mod):
- Length: Approximately 4.995 – 5.000 meters
- Width: Approximately 2.000 – 2.080 meters
- Height: Approximately 1.145 – 1.180 meters
- Weight: Around 1030 kg (without fuel and driver, as per LMH regulations).
Other Notable Features:
- Aerodynamics: Innovative design that forgoes a traditional rear wing, relying on the car’s body shape and underfloor for downforce. (Note: Some recent evolutions of the actual race car have included a rear wing).
- Brakes: Carbon brakes (likely Carbone Industrie) with multi-piston calipers (likely AP Racing).
- Tyres: Michelin slicks on OZ forged alloy wheels (sizes vary between front and rear in the actual car).
- Fuel: TotalEnergies 100% sustainable fuel.
Important Considerations for the Assetto Corsa Mod:
- Accuracy: The level of accuracy in replicating these stats will depend on the skill and resources of the mod developer.
- Updates: Mod developers often update their creations, so the stats might change over time.
- Driving Physics: The feel and handling of the car in the game are crucial aspects of the mod that go beyond simple numbers.
