Rugged Rally Cars

The Peugeot 3008DKR Maxi is Designed to Conquer the Dakar Rally

— June 30, 2017 — Autos
French auto manufacturer Peugeot is clearly taking the Dakar Rally seriously, given its recruitment of driving legends Cyril Despres, Carlos Sainz and Sebastien Loeb to its team, and the trio and teammate Stephane Peterhansel will be given a formidable weapon in the form of the 3008DKR Maxi.

The Peugeot 3008DKR Maxi is a truly spectacular rally car that is designed to be a .full 20 centimeters wider than its predecessor, allowing for a suspension expansion range of 10 centimetres on other side. This is a revolutionary engineering change that could be seen as a gamble, but is a really a statement of intent that Peugeot is determined to dominate the 8,000-kilometre Dakar Rally.

This particular vehicle isn't necessarily designed to rip up smooth driving tracks, but is as good as any vehicle out there when it comes to traversing dunes and navigating tricky terrain without compromising on speed, making it the consummate rally car for the world's most demanding rally competition.
Trend Themes
1. Rally Car Evolution - The wider design and expanded suspension range in the Peugeot 3008DKR Maxi sets an example for further rally car innovation.
2. Off-road Racing Technology - The 3008DKR Maxi's superior handling in difficult terrain calls for increased investment in dune-conquering vehicles.
3. Professional Racing Team Recruitment - The recruitment of world-class drivers signals the need for consistent and top-level racing team management.
Industry Implications
1. Automotive - The automotive industry must keep pace with evolving technologies to create dynamic off-road vehicles like the Peugeot 3008DKR Maxi.
2. Motorsports - The motorsports industry can focus on developing rugged, agile and wider rally cars to succeed in the Dakar Rally and other similar events.
3. Sports Management - The recruitment and management of globally renowned race car drivers is essential for success in the world's most demanding rally competition.
