About the Peugeot 908 HDI FAP LMP1 #9 F. Montagny / R. Zonta / N. Kilen 3rd Place 24 Hours of Le Mans 2008 Minichamps 1:18
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Peugeot 908 HDI FAP #9 reproduces the third-place finisher at the 2008 24 Hours of Le Mans. The body is a fixed one-piece casting capturing the prototype's low aerodynamic shape. A genuine podium piece for LMP1 collectors.
A podium finish at Le Mans against Audi's dominant diesel program represented real credibility for Peugeot's 908 during a period when the German manufacturer had held the upper hand for years.
A Sealed Body Capturing Prototype Bodywork
This 908 is cast as a single fixed shell, and the model's craft plays out entirely across its low, sculpted exterior. The prototype's enclosed cockpit, long tail section, and aggressive front splitter come through as one continuous, aerodynamically shaped surface, an approach well suited to a subject whose story is told through bodywork rather than an accessible cabin. Minichamps holds the #9 sponsor livery with sharp, legible graphics, and the zinc-alloy construction gives the model genuine weight despite its low, wide profile.
The 2008 Le Mans Podium Result
Franck Montagny, Ricardo Zonta, and Christian Klien piloted this 908 to third place at the 2008 24 Hours of Le Mans, a genuine podium result in a category where Audi's diesel program had won repeatedly in the years prior. That result demonstrated Peugeot's diesel technology could compete at the very top of endurance racing, setting the stage for the manufacturer's continued LMP1 push in subsequent seasons. A podium at Le Mans remains one of motorsport's most respected achievements regardless of the specific finishing position.
A Podium Piece for an Endurance Shelf
This 908 anchors an LMP1 or Le Mans-focused endurance racing collection with genuine competitive credibility, its fixed one-piece body needing only routine dusting and placement away from direct light to protect the livery over years of display. Paired with the sixth-place 2009 entry from the same manufacturer, it lets a collector show Peugeot's diesel program across consecutive seasons and results.
