The family business that preceded the current Peugeot company was founded in 1810, and manufactured coffee mills and bicycles. On 20 November 1858, Emile Peugeot applied for the lion trademark. Armand Peugeot built the company's first car, an unreliable steam tricycle, in collaboration with Leon Serpollet in 1889; this was followed in 1890 by an internal combustion car with a Panhard-Daimler engine. Due to family discord, Armand Peugeot in 1896 founded the Société des Automobiles Peugeot.
The Peugeot company and family are originally from Sochaux, France. Peugeot retains a large manufacturing plant and Peugeot Museum there. In February 2014, the shareholders agreed to a recapitalisation plan, in which Dongfeng Motors and the French government each bought a 14% stake in the company.

The Peugeot Sport range is reinforced in 2018 with the arrival of the new Peugeot 308TCR. This car is a significant evolution of the 308 Racing Cup, which itself derives from the Peugeot 308 GTi by Peugeot Sport. The new car is destined for the exciting TCR category, which is now crowned by the newly-launched WTCR series.
On top of the Peugeot 208 Racing Cup and Peugeot 308 Racing Cup - which will remain active - Peugeot Sport is deploying its know-how and reinforcing its range of circuit racing cars with the new Peugeot 308TCR.
The chassis, engine, gearbox and aerodynamics of this sporting version of the Peugeot 308 are specific to the TCR and international touring car competitions such as the VLN (in Germany), CER (in Spain) CITE (in Italy), BGDC (in Belgium) and other endurance racing championships like the 24H Series.
Orders will open on January 3, 2018, with the first cars delivered in April 2018. A catalogue of technical options is available. The Peugeot 308TCR will be on display at the Peugeot stand during the Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland, from March 8-18.

Peugeot has revealed details of the new 9X8, its latest-generation Hypercar which is set to make its competitive debut in the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) in 2022. Powered by hybrid technology and featuring all-wheel drive, the new 9X8 Hypercar showcases Peugeot's Neo-Performance strategy which combines technology and sportiness in both Peugeot's road and race cars. The Hypercar is a product of the latest work between Peugeot Sport and Peugeot Design, heralding a new era in racing and a new era in race car design.
The Peugeot 9X8 - the brand's latest endurance racing contender - is a direct successor to the Peugeot 905, winner of the Le Mans 24 Hours in 1992 and 1993, and the Peugeot 908, which won the iconic race in 2009. The new prototype race car is poised to continue Peugeot's successful history in top-level motorsport.
The 9X8 Hypercar is a brand-driven project highlighting Peugeot's 'Neo-Performance' vision which is built around combining a premium sporting pedigree with styling excellence, efficiency and technological expertise that can be carried over to Peugeot's road cars.
Peugeot's Design and engineering teams have worked in collaboration with its racing division, Peugeot Sport, to explore new aerodynamic solutions and styling ideas to create a completely original race car. The Peugeot 9X8's design and aerodynamics have been developed under the responsibility of Peugeot Sport Technical Director Olivier Jansonnie and the design team led by Peugeot Design Director Matthias Hossann. Greater flexibility, allowed by the sport's new technical rules regarding aerodynamics, permits new thinking that favours the emergence of innovative cars, allowing for new creative processes and a break away from established procedures to produce a Hypercar for a completely new era.

The Peugeot 905 Evo 1C is a French Group C racing car manufactured by Peugeot. Peugeot made the announcement in 1988 after dominating the Paris-Dakar Rally that they were building a car to compete in the Group C World Sports Car Championship. The Peugeot proved its high-speed superiority by winning 5 races out of 6 right before the end of Group C's Championship Demise.

The Peugeot 908 HDi FAP is a sports prototype racing car built by the French automobile manufacturer Peugeot to compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race, starting in 2007 and eventually winning in 2009. This effort, in development since 2005, was publicly unveiled on 15 June 2006. It first competed against the Audi R10 TDI, becoming the second diesel engined sports car from a major manufacturer, and then against the Audi R15 TDI. This was Peugeot Sport's first Le Mans effort since the end of the Peugeot 905 project in 1993. It won 19 from the 28 races in which it raced between 2007 and 2010.
"908 HDi FAP" reads as follows: 908 deals with the 90x series for racing cars at Peugeot; HDi is the acronym for [English] "High Pressure Direct Injection" (French: Injection directe à haute pression) and FAP is the acronym for [French] "Filtre à particules" (English: particulate filter"). The 908 name is also shared with a Peugeot concept saloon/sedan, named the 908RC, which shares the diesel V12 engine from the 908 sportscar and with the successor sports prototype racing car of Peugeot for 2011 season, simply named "908". The Peugeot 908 is not to be confused with another sportscar of the same number that successfully raced from 1968 to 1981, the Porsche 908.
At the 2008 1000 km of Silverstone, Peugeot Sport unveiled the 908 HY, a hybrid electric variant of the diesel 908, with KERS. Peugeot planned to campaign the car in the 2009 Le Mans Series season, even though it would not be capable of scoring championship points, but gave up the idea to concentrate on preparation for the 2009 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Two 908s were entered at the 2009 Sebring 12 Hours up against the new Audi R15s. The lead change kept swapping until the R15 emerged just 22 seconds ahead of the Peugeot. The new R15s still lacked the capability to double-stint.
Four 908s were entered into the 2009 24 Hours of Le Mans, three by Peugeot, and a 2008 model by Pescarolo which crashed at night. The cars #9 and #8 took the first two places, 16 years after Peugeot's last win. Together with the sixth-placed #7, they performed a formation finish, crossing the line with all three cars line-astern.
Peugeot continued to challenge the Audi R15s at the 2009 Petit Le Mans. Team Peugeot Total entered two cars and won the rain soaked race while leading only 10% of the race laps. Because of the Le Mans victory Peugeot contested the race in 2010 with the numbers 1-2-3.
