Peugeot V10

The Peugeot V10 is a family of naturally aspirated V10 racing engines that Peugeot built between 1990 and 2000. It began as the power unit of the Peugeot 905 Group C sports prototype, a light alloy and high revving 3,499 cc engine in the SA35 series that competed in the World Sportscar Championship from 1990 to 1993 and carried Peugeot to consecutive wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1992 and 1993. In 1994 the company adapted the same 3.5 litre layout to Formula One regulations and became an engine supplier to the McLaren team, then went on to supply other teams until it left the sport at the end of the 2000 season to concentrate on the World Rally Championship. Its Formula One versions, the A4 and later A6, produced between about 700 and 760 PS, and teams using them scored a total of 14 podium finishes without ever winning a race.
