Citroën has linked up with renowned German tuning and
modification specialists, Carlsson, to produce a luxurious, high
performance version of the C5 Estate, already one of the most
comfortable and practical estate cars around. The Citroën 'C5 by
Carlsson' shows how the car can be transformed into a
high-powered, executive express capable of competing with the
very best the sports estate sector has to offer.
Making its public debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show, the one-off
'C5 by Carlsson' is powered by a 3.0 litre V6 petrol engine that
has been re-engineered to offer substantially enhanced
performance. Coupled to an auto-adaptive automatic gearbox with
sequential control, the upgraded engine delivers almost 15% more
power (235 hp) and torque
(240 lb ft) than the standard model.
Special 18-inch wheels, coupled with adapted suspension settings
and Citroën's class-leading Hydractive 3 suspension, combine to
ensure that there is no trade-off in comfort or road-holding for
occupants of the 'C5 by Carlsson'.
In addition to the new alloy wheels, a number of other exterior
styling changes help to underline the dynamic character of the
'C5 by Carlsson'. These include aerodynamic front and rear
spoilers and side mouldings, while black door mirrors and twin
exhausts complete the new look.
Providing a luxurious interior finish to satisfy even the most
demanding customer, a combination of 'Cognac' leather and
'Cognac' and Dark Grey Amaretta® has been used across the seats,
dashboard, door panels and roof trim.

The Citroën C5 by Carlsson features large wheels (225/40 x 18)
with alloy wheels of a new design. The different
suspension settings - damping, springing, roll control - have
been chosen to ensure there is no trade off between the comfort
of the original vehicle and the dynamic needs of the more
powerful engine.
