Ferrari F333 and Peugeot 900s

[C09]

Hey, can someone tell me about the engine in the Peugeot 900s? In Forza 2 it has the highest reving engine in the game. Also, the Ferrari F333? What made these cars special? Thanks.

Special in what way?

IIRC it was a highly adaptable chassis, and has been widely used in sportscar racing, hill climbs and other various events for many years after it's introduction.

maybe the 905 revs high but i doubt the 908 does as HDI and TDI engines are usually very low RPM but high torque. The 905 was a group c car, 80 degree 3.5ltr V10, 40 valves. 650 PS (641 bhp) @ 125000rpm, 905b had 715bhp. Pretty much it was the engine was a reworked and put into F1 after 93. Oh and dont thank WIKI thank me as i did all the hard work for you...your lazyness has been noted!

Thanks. Could someone post some pictures of an F333? And the racing 908? (I've already seen the showroom concept, but it was heavily modified for the race.)
