CITROËN C6
|
|
|
REVEALED
AT THE GENEVA SALON ON 10TH FEBRUARY 2005 IS THE NEW TOP
OF THE RANGE C6, THE LONG AWAITED REPLACEMENT FOR THE XM |
|
A
symbol of the Company’s expertise, the C6 joins a
select circle of
executive saloons from Citroën. It has the emotional
appeal required by
true connoisseurs of exceptional cars.
The
design lines and general approach give the C6 the
looks of a powerful
coupé, whilst its interior space and impressive
levels of equipment are
indicative of a prestige saloon.
The C6 is a
distinctive vehicle of majestic allure, with a front
end suggesting
power and prestige, a flowing, aerodynamic profile
and an original rear
end conveying an impression of confidence and
stability.

The
stunning design of the C6 is embodied by its flowing
lines, energy,
aerodynamics and elegance. The body is characterised by
a long front
overhang and short rear overhang. The design and shape
of the C6
reflect the emotional appeal of an elegant, dynamic
coupé with the
proportions and features of an executive limousine.
The attractive,
imposing profile of the C6 is showcased by its
generous
dimensions – 1.86 m wide, 1.46 m high and 4.91 m
long, with a
2.90 m wheelbase.
The cabin size is highlighted by the long front and rear
doors and by
the large glazed area, which lets the light flood in.
The windows on
the frameless doors – in themselves a nod to prestige
coupé design –
also contribute to creating a bright and airy interior.
The doors underline the impression of elegance,
contributing to the
flowing profile of the C6. The quarter window integrates
neatly with
the rear door, thus extending the line of the body, and
adding a
further touch to the car's natural elegance.

The elegant, taut lines and harmonious styling of the
C6 have a strong and immediate appeal.
From a front ¾ view, the Citroën C6 conveys an
impression of power with
its low-slung stance and large bumper that features an
integrated air
intake between the two round fog lamps and daytime
running lights.
The wide front end is accentuated by the chrome chevrons
that reach out
to the slim headlamps, as on other Citroën vehicles. The
originally
shaped headlamps provide a link between the bumper, the
wings and the
long, smooth curved form of the bonnet. Designed to
incorporate the
side lights they extend up onto the wings of the
car.
The separation of the headlamps, daytime running lights
and fog lamps give the Citroën C6 a piercing, determined
gaze.
The shape, parallel lines and contours of the front end
give the C6
real presence, and remind us that it is a truly unique
work of art.

The harmonious design is also expressed in the high,
clearly
marked waist line – reinforcing the impression of safety
– and in the
roof line whose contours run the length of the body,
down to the
concave window at the rear.
The profile of the C6 alternates taut, radical lines
with
rounded, more natural shapes. The wings house
large-diameter wheels.
The proportions and dynamic design of the wheels fill
the wheel arches,
creating an impression of power and agility allied with
strength and
endurance.
As a further touch of refinement, the lower body is
smartly
finished off by a chrome strip that extends to the rear
bumper where
the original design reflects the attention paid to
innovative styling.

The Citroën C6 features a rear end with a unique
styling that reflects the Marque's style cues.
In keeping with the spirit of large Citroëns of the
past, the Citroën
C6 has a concave rear window. Besides its originality,
the concave
shape highlights the generous size of the boot and
provides excellent
visibility.
A discreetly integrated air deflector at the top of the
tailgate contributes to vehicle stability at speed.
The spearhead-shaped, coloured rear lights are
positioned atop the rear
wings where, slightly offset, they meet the roof arch.
Another key characteristic of the determined and
powerful-looking rear
end is the design of the rear pillars, which help to
protect the
tailgate and partially conceal the boot. The powerful
design of the
front and rear ends visually stabilise the car.
A chrome strip separates the boot and the rear bumper,
which highlights
the width of the body and incorporates a chrome twin
exhaust pipe.
