| Tweet | ||
Citroën has sold more than 180,000 DS line models worldwide since launch. The adventure continues at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show wîth the reveal of the Citroën DS4 Racing Concept. As wîth the DS3 Racing, the engineers at Citroën Racing and the styling team have firmly stamped the DS4 wîth the image of the Brand's racing department.
Making its world debut at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, the Citroën DS4 Racing Concept features '100% Racing' attributes. The chassis is 35 mm lower than the regular model and track is 55 mm wider at the front and 75 mm wider at the back. The concept car also sports an air diffuser, a front bumper panel, a lower-body belt line and wing extensions. Citroën Racing has tweaked the 1.6-litre turbo engine to develop 256 bhp, or 160 bhp per litre - a record for a series-production car. This spectacular performance comes hand in hand wîth controlled CO2 emissions of 155 g/km.
Citroën Racing engineers have also redeveloped the running gear wîth the utmost precision. The concept car is equipped wîth four-pot, fixed calliper brakes at the front, wîth special discs widened to 380 mm in diameter, and shod wîth larger, 19-inch wheels (235/40).
Another stand-out feature of the Citroën DS4 Racing Concept is its matte grey, textured-effect paint - a first in the automotive sector. The grain of the paint catches the light differently and further enhances the body styling, while the colour is sober, modern and robust and ideally suited to a sports car. To refine the exterior aesthetic, the concept car gets a two-tone roof and specially-designed, twotone wheel rims.Source - Citroen
