Designers in the Citroen is never limited to the strict framework for the creation of concepts. And so this time they really come off in full. Bristling with air inlets, flat as a flounder, huge wheels, with a base of three meters and a very unusual proportions of the C-Metisse attracts the eye. Concept promises passengers a new level of comfort and dynamics, while respecting the environment and, as its creators claim, must give people "fun car". Height C-Metisse - only 1.24 m, length 4.74 m, width 2 m. The lines are sensual and emotional. To facilitate the planting of low car door open with part of the roof up: front on a "gull wing", and rear turn around its axis. LED lights rotate depending on steering angle and vehicle speed. The driver can control the most important car systems, without taking your hands off the wheel, it concentrated control of the radio limitatorom speed, on-board computer, lights, indicators, trunk lid and "caretakers". There are and "petals" gear. But the engine start button is in a very unusual place - on the ceiling! Mounted on the ceiling and headrest for the driver. It is located at the point of providing the best possible coverage, and have him fit everything else - seat, steering wheel, pedal assembly. The center console is a few narrow bands, between which the wheels and the adjustment knob controls and seats, navigation system, the mode of the suspension and its height (it is hydraulic). Three glowing bands pass through the interior, and display mode of propulsion (charging, speed, zero emission mode, "etc.). The play of light is supplemented by sound effects that are already included when you open the door and escorted to fit the driver behind the wheel, start, work with the onboard computer, the nomination of spoilers. The developers believe that it makes high-tech facility in an "almost a living being." The rear is a single surface, covered with white skin, which molded the deepening chairs. Designers have tried to provide passengers with comfort, a sense of ease and rest. In addition to the luggage compartment has two compartments behind the wheels where they can hide company sitroenovskie bags. Powerplant Citroen C-Metisse is a diesel engine 208 hp + Two electric motors to 20 hp (Located in the rear wheels), with torque of 400 Nm each. In urban areas, "Zero Emission», C-Metisse can move using only the electric motors - energy reserve is enough for 3 kilometers (at a speed of 30 km / h). In normal mode, they help to disperse traffic, combined with economical diesel engine that helps achieve average fuel consumption of only 6.5 liters per 100 kilometers. In this case, the creators of C-Metisse does not sacrifice driving pleasure. Concept has a good dynamic sports car: it takes kilometer from the place of 25.04 seconds, while acceleration to 100 km / h takes just 6.5. Designers abandoned the chase for a high top speed (in real terms it does not matter), focusing on providing good acceleration at any speed. With a sharp acceleration the front wheels rotate a diesel engine and rear electric motors - four-wheel drive eliminates slippage. When braking motors convert the kinetic energy into electrical energy. Michelin tires have been designed specifically for C-Metisse. Drag coefficient of a car - just 0.30. Incidentally, the creators of C-Metisse call it the aerodynamics of it as "innovative", and huge air intakes, which may seem ridiculous - one of its components. Also, the concept boasts a smooth bottom, two spoilers on the edge of the roof, and another two retractable ... And that's where they are nominated, for us remains a secret, apparently, we are talking about spoilers under the bottom like a C-SportLounge. Text - Gregory Gomelchuk, Cardesign.ru
