So it is difficult to tell how much less power the R15 will produce compared to the new Peugeot.

Of course Audi can rely on the R15's reliability, good visibility in traffic and driver change advantage (under IMSA's 2 air guns rule) to compensate for a possibly slower race pace.
All true but just going along the lines I doubt Peugeot will design a car to be slower than it's previous one.
