Peugeot E-Expert Sport is a spacious, speedy modern van that's fun to drive… and it even fits in at Le Mans
Just bang it in sports mode and pretend you're heading down the Mulsanne Straight at top speed WHITE VAN LE MANS Peugeot E-Expert Sport is a spacious, speedy modern van that's fun to drive… and it even fits in at Le Mans THE 24 Hours of Le Mans car park. Every supercar you can think of. Plus moi, in a white van. 2 Not as fast as a Le Mans hypercar, obviously. But it's no slouch either Credit: DANIEL PULLEN 2025 2 Peugeot's E-Expert Sport gets bold styling and 9X8-inspired touches – but no power boost Credit: DANIEL PULLEN 2025 At least I had a top view sat on the roof. Peugeot hasn't added any performance to the new E-Expert Sport. It's the standard 136hp with a 219-mile battery. But it does get a special body kit, Y-spoke 18in alloys, and Kryptonite Green detailing inspired by Peugeot's 9X8 race car. This is the 'Crew Van' version with tons of space for you and five mates to cross the Channel with all your camping gear. Just one pit stop required to get from Dover to the track, sucking up 80 per cent charge in just 45 minutes. Not bad. What's it like to drive? Not as fast as a Le Mans hypercar, obviously. But it's no slouch either. It's fun, with purposeful steering and paddle shifts to control the regenerative braking. Just bang it in sports mode and pretend you're heading down the Mulsanne Straight at top speed – rather than a French autoroute. More importantly, on a road trip, it has all the creature comforts you'd expect from a modern van including a 10in touchscreen that talks to your phone, dual-zone climate control, wireless phone charging and even a heated leather steering wheel. Which you definitely don't get in a World Endurance Championship car. Fernando Alonso drives to victory at the 24 hours of Le Mans in 2018 There's more of Superman's least favourite colour in here, as well as Sport logos in the 'eco-leather' seats which are colourfast, scratchproof and tear-resistant, not to mention 'moisture regulating and acid and alkali resistant'. Given how terrifying it must be driving through the night at Le Mans, it sounds like the sort of stuff they should make racesuits out of. It didn't have a place in the race, but the new E-Expert Sport looked every bit as cool as the race-winning Ferrari, and costs a lot less at £41,295 (ex VAT).
