Under
its stylish lines, the C-Airdream is also brimming with
technology. It
features drive-by-wire design, highlighted by the absence of
pedals and
gear lever which are replaced by steering wheel-mounted controls
for
the accelerator, brake and gearchange functions. In addition, a
centrally-located navigation and information screen is controlled
using
a ‘mouse’ at the end of a broad central armrest.
The
use of advanced electronic control systems is further highlighted
by
variable-ratio electric steering, which offers pin-sharp handling,
and
an electronically controlled braking system. A vehicle dynamics
controller offers continuous control of the various electrical
components affecting the vehicle dynamics.
For
precision handling and ride comfort the Citroën C-Airdream concept
car
is equipped with the Company’s acclaimed Hydractive 3 suspension
system, while power is provided by a 3.0i V6 engine which is
capable of
developing 210hp and is mated to a sequential auto-adaptive
automatic
gearbox.
