15470 view(s)  In 1988, Peugeot Talbot Sport under the control of Jean Todt launched the 905 project to compete in the 1991 championship using the new rules which the 1991 season would introduce.
Technically advanced, the 905 used a carbon fiber chassis engineered by Dassault and a light alloy SA35-A1 3499 cc naturally-aspirated V10 engine that was similar to F1 engines of the time. The 905 was officially unveiled the 4 July 1990 on the Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours, with Jean-Pierre Jabouille driving.
The car made its racing debut in the final few races of the 1990 FIA World Sportscar Championship with Jabouille and Keke Rosberg sharing the wheel. Although the car was slower than the contemporary Group C Sports Prototypes, it was notably quicker than the other 3.5 litre Sports-Prototypes which raced in the 1990 World Sportscar Championship season.
