Even though we have one last major race this season, I figured that a spy shot published on Autosport.com today is the perfect occasion to start talking about 2011.
Peugeot have started testing at least part of the 2011 package, as we can see below... not sure whether it is the 90X in full though:

The Honkin' Great Fin is much in evidence on the engine cover; it looks like a 908 at the front, but from the driver back, it's all different: new aero package on the rear (rear wing mountings, rear bodywork, rear fenders), smaller air intake on the fender and a big roof scoop, which suggests a different engine... basically looks like a 908 tub hack with 2011 engine and part of the 2011 aero kit, so not a final 2011 car.
EDIT: Also, someone on Ten-Tenths made a good point: the HDi FAP stickers have disappeared... so could this be a petrol-engined car?
In any case, this will be the thread for all discussions about the 2011 racing season in sportscar racing, endurance racing primarily but GTs are also allowed as a subject. Le Mans itself will get its own thread when the entries are officially published in February.
