Revealed at the
Geneva motor show in 1986, the Eole was designed
entirely by computer, bypassing the normal stages of
such a car's creation.
Geoffrey Matthews who came to Citroën from PSA-owned
Chrysler UK did the original drawings from which the
computer worked.
Eole was based on a CX
platform and achieved a CD
factor of 0,17 which was approximately half that
of the CX thanks to fully enclosed wheels.
The car was fitted with no roll, active
suspension that automatically lowered the ride
height at speed.
Following these trials, the decision was taken to
equip the CX
successor with an active system.
