The official name of the new 908 is the 908 V12 HDi DPFS. HDi DPFS meaning a diesel engine equipped with a diesel particulate filter system.
Paolo Catone is the chief designer of the 908.
The drivers:
Frenchmen, Nicolas Manassian and Stéphane Sarrazin, the Portuguese, Pedro Lamy and the Spaniard, Marc Géné. Sébastien Bourdais (French) and Jacques Villeneuve (Canadian) will help to strengthen the two driving teams for the Le Mans 24 Hours while Eric Hélary will be the official test driver and the reserve.

i'm looking at the picture of the engine.
it looks as though the heads are built into the block. that is to say there are no headbolts/headgasket etc. must be due to huge cylinder pressure.
