C-AIRDREAM
An Expression of Citroën’s know how
With C-Airdream, a 2+2 coupé concept car, Citroën continues to
explore the language of styling. Flowing lines, clean contours,
sophisticated materials and stays of light take passengers on a
journey through the senses.
A harmony of slender proportions and fluid lines with an
underlying promise of power, C-Airdream expresses Citroën's
vision of sporting coupé design.
The contemporary edge of Citroën's design values can also be
seen in the interior of C-Airdream. Sculptured lines,
contrasting colours, noble materials and plays of light create a
harmonious whole with immediate appeal.
C-Airdream also explores a new avenue in technology:
electrical control systems.
A coupé of character
The exterior styling of C-Airdream owes its strength as much to
its slender proportions combining a long wheelbase and long front
overhang with a short rear overhang - as to the performance and
fluidity of its external design lines.
The front end immediately catches the attention with its
suggestion of latent power. Positioned either side of the radiator
grill and chevron, the slim, directional headlamps are a perfect
design fit with the smooth bonnet. The attention to detail,
visible in the design of the wheels for example, also contributes
to the allure of the coupé, by accentuating its class and
elegance.
The profile of C-Airdream expresses the pursuit of optimal
aerodynamic design. The receding lines converging towards the rear
of the vehicle suggest movement and fluidity, bringing the promise
of new sensations. Clearly, this is a car that interacts with the
road in a unique way. The waist line - slightly curved towards the
rear and the prominent wings, suggest stability and good
roadholding.
Continuing the taut lines of the bonnet, the generous, strongly
raked windscreen gives way - without a break - to the smooth
curves of the roof. The fully glazed top part of the vehicle frees
up the visual field of the occupants to create a strong impression
of space and light: an impression unique in a coupé.
The roof line ends with a sharply sloping rear window: a perfect
fit between the geometric shapes of the rear lights and the fluid
lines of the coupé.
