Peugeot reveals its 2008 DKR for 2015


After dominating Pikes Peak last year with Sebastian Loeb at the wheel of the 208 Pikes peak, Peugeot revealed the 2008 DKR which is set to compete in next year's Dakar race (which shall I remind you, still doesn't take place in Dakar due to political unrest). Once again, the Peugeot race car is going to be driven by another rally legend: Carlos Sainz alog Cyril Despres, five-time Dakar Rally Bike champion.

No details about the power unit have been released yet, but we still have the photo gallery below to see how beastly the 2008 looks wearing its 37-inch Michelin shoes. Stay tuned for more!


Renault Duster Unleashed for Dakar 2014


Renault introduced its updated Duster rally car that is set to compete in the 2014 Edition of the Dakar rally next month (yes it's called "The Dakar" even though it takes place in South America since 2009). Details are a little scarce at the moment but we know that the rally car is going to be powered by a V6 engine and produce more than 300 Hp. But we have a video, and you can see the French rally car in motion after the jump.
