New Citroen C6 hybrid to beat rivals
The Citroen C6 is set to get a makeover into a seriously environmental and economical car, with a new PSA hybrid drivetrain that will reduce CO2 emissions to 100 g/km.
The C6 would use a combination of a 163 hp turbodiesel engine to power the front wheels, and a single electric motor driving the rear wheels. The layout is set to reflect the 3008 hybrid, and a further element will be the use of a start-stop system.
The Eco C6 will become highly competitive against its German and Japanese counterparts, featuring new aerodynamics with low-resistance tyres and a flat underbody. It is set to become a concept car, but with no word on whether it will make it to production. Given the Peugeot-Citroen collaboration however, on a hybrid drivetrain, we should see eco versions of the Citroen C4 and Peugeot 308, with the C5 and 407 replacements certainly having production models.

Beh le ammiraglie Citroen hanno sempre avuto un loro fascino…. Anche questa “C6″, non sarà bellissima, ma ha il fascino da grossa Citroen! Un’auto tipicamente francese. Io dal 1995 al 1999 ho posseduto una Citroen “XM” e quindi sono “predisposto” a valutare positivamente la “C6″. Sono stato a provarla alla Citroen di Pescara e debbo dire che vi ho ritrovato tutto quello che di buono aveva la mia “XM” notevolmente migliorato. Ora con questo nuovo 3.000 diesel sicuramente sarà ancora migliore. Una ultima considerazione: in un panorama automobilistico dove tutti per “distinguersi” acquistano BMW, Mercedes e Audi, forse non ci si distingue di più comperando una “C6″?
Attualmente guido una Jaguar, ma quando vedo una “C6″in giro, il mio cuore…..
