Citroen NEMO Concept






After presenting Nemo at the Road Transport Show in Amsterdam in October 2007, Citroën is displaying NEMO CONCETTO at the 2007 Bologna Motor Show. Nemo Concetto is based on the Nemo compact van, which pays homage to Disney's clown fish hero, with its orange and white color scheme. It illustrates the world and values of Nemo, as well as highlighting the many possible ways of customizing this vehicle.

Nemo Concetto illustrates the astonishing closeness between the Citroën Nemo and its clown fish homonym.

Like the fish, Nemo Concetto can be considered as "small" among its peers. However, its size is an asset, since it is able to nip in and out of traffic easily.

In a world where it would be tempting to think that bigger is better, Nemo Concetto combines intelligent design with compact exterior dimensions and interior space. It shows that intelligence is the most important asset, whatever the environment.

Nemo Concetto does not claim to be what it is not. It clearly states its identity with a new take on conventional automotive cues. Resembling a small truck with fun looks, bright colours and unrestrained humour, Nemo Concetto is a rich mix with overwhelming appeal.

Like the clown fish, Nemo Concetto has irresistible personality and looks.

Nemo Concetto reflects Citroën's constantly renewed capacity to design vehicles with character, vehicles that adapt to the lifestyles and world of their owners… like fish in water!

Citroen C5






With the new C5, Citroën establishes a strong position in the mid-high range vehicle segment, where the key qualities are appeal, performance, status and quality. The new C5 combines a strong personality, with dynamic performance, status and quality Respecting the design cues of this segment, Citroën has developed two cars: a saloon whose flowing lines express style and status and a dynamic looking estate that places the emphasis on emotion without forgetting functional convenience. With the new C5, Citroën satisfies the requirements of executive vehicle buyers in terms of quality and reliability by setting new standards in development, design and industrial production.
With a wheelbase of 2.82 m, the C5 road car is designed to satisfy buyers of large saloons looking for postural comfort and outstanding space. The adjustable front seats, featuring manual or electric controls, and the height - and reach-adjustable steering wheel let drivers find a driving position suited to their body shape and driving habits.

Depending on trim levels, two seat categories are also available to ensure maximum comfort. "Harmonie", based on flowing lines for an impression of comfort and well-being, and "Caractère", featuring stronger support and more pronounced lines, illustrating the quest for driving thrills. The electrically controlled front seats (standard with Exclusive trim) include comfort features that are new to this vehicle category. The driver can adjust the top part of the back rest to achieve a comfortable position while fully supporting the top part of the chest.

According to the version, the driver's seat back can feature a back massage function. Passengers at the rear also travel in comfort, thanks to the well designed and particularly generous leg room. The absence of a central tunnel further increases space. The rear seat features three height-adjustable headrests and, depending on trim,, a central armrest comprising a vast stowage compartment and two can-holders built into a sliding drawer, a ski flap and – last – a 60/40 fold function, freeing up a flat floor.

Citroen 2 Chevaux




The worldwide success of Fiat 500 and, even earlier, Mini by BMW created the market for the ‘automotive revival’. Between all the past most famous city cars, the Citroen Deux Chevaux cannot be forgotten. Born in 1939, the Deux Chevaux become famous because of its simplicity, limited costs, and reliability.

Citroen to unveil C5 sedan next month


Citroen is set to debut its C5 sedan at a press event scheduled for October 18, a new report finds. The C5 is expected to take design cues from the C5 airscape concept that was shown at this year's Frankfurt Motor Show. While Citroen will unveil the C5 sedan next month, the car won't hit the market until its world debut at January's Brussels Motor Show.

When the C5 does go on sale next year, it will be available in sedan and wagon body styles. It still remains unclear if a convertible version will be available, but inside sources say Citroen is conducting market research for the viability of an up-scale drop top. If given the green light, the convertible could make it to market 12 months after the sedan and wagon.

It is also believed that Citroen will debut some new technologies in the C5, such as a new traction control system, an engine start/stop feature and brake-energy regeneration.

Subaru WRC Concept



Look past the distinctive Subaru rally team paint job and what you see is very close to what the much anticipated Subaru WRX STI will look like. From the deep front bumper to possibly even the oversized rear spoiler attached to the hatch, the STI should share much of its attitude with the rally version. As the STI was still not officially introduced, there is no word on how much power Subaru will be offering in the latest version. We’re expecting the turbocharged 2.5-liter to make in excess of 320 horsepower in order to stay ahead of Mitsubishi’s 295-hpEvolution X
