Lots
of cars come with a list of options, but Citroën
has taken it to a new
level by offering customers of its
top-of-the-range C6 a ‘designer
garage’ worth a cool £112,330.
Developed by acclaimed architects,
Neutral - part of the team responsible for the
amazing Munich football
stadium - the garage is described by its
director, Christian Grou, as
“an envelope to present the C6 in a truly unique
and independent
environment.”
Costing three times as much as the flagship
executive C6 model, the
garage is constructed out of futuristic light
transmitting concrete. It
features transparent, wrap-around sliding
‘doors’ that allow the C6 to
enter from either the front or rear, and which
are laced with liquid
crystal display (LCD), allowing the owner to
switch between ‘pride or
hide’ modes.
The multi-functional building not only makes a
bold, spatial statement,
its design provides the owner with a useable
roof terrace and a unique
“man-made landscape” to adjoin their home,
according to Neutral.
Standing an imposing 3m high, the ‘designer
garage’ covers an equally
impressive 50m2.
Christian Grou added: “Only the Citroën C6 could
inspire us to develop
such a unique ‘home’ for a car. The C6 is a
mould-breaking, bold and
individual vehicle that shouldn’t be hidden away
in a traditional
bricks and mortar building. This garage is an
extended expression of
the vehicle’s ability to turn heads.”
The Neutral designed C6 garage costs GBP112,330
(GBP95,600 + VAT) fully built.
