Super C2 concept for rallies

A sporting spirit usually enhances the image of a model and French carmakers often use this approach to promote their products. While the standard C2 is only just revealed to the world, it actually was previewed at the Geneva Motorshow earlier but in the form of the C2 Citroën Sport concept car, a concept which is rally-based.

Citroën views rally racing as a “human adventure”. Racing brings the brand closer to the public, for whom motorsports, looking beyond questions of pure performance, represent a world of excitement and fascination. Citroën’s sporting policy is based first and foremost on a human commitment. The idea is to provide a career track for promising young drivers: to identify talented participants in the promotional formulas, bring them up through the ranks with the Junior WRC and – ultimately – give them their chance in the WRC. For all young drivers who dream of being in the following in the WRC, the C2 Citroen Sport concept car also seeks to convey the idea of a human adventure, this being a key component of the brand’s sporting policy.

An expression of high-tech design, C2 Citroën Sport shows the form a future racing vehicle might take, in the light of Citroën Sport’s continued commitment to customer sport. It is an expression of the brand’s dynamic vitality. In terms of looks, the striking style of C2 Citroën Sport expresses intense driving sensations combined with quality of build: power and performance.

For sports enthusiasts, the exterior styling of this concept car will immediately bring to mind visions of sliding, acceleration and braking, backed up by the absolute control of a well-balanced car.

The proportions, wheel base, wide tracks and front end of C2 Citroën Sport express a high level of density. Its wide air intakes, rounded bonnet and plunging design lines suggest remarkable performance capacities, as do the strongly marked and generously sized wheel arches.
