| The C4 Citroën Sport concept car
made its world debut at the 74th International Motor Show in Geneva. This
creation, which reflects the renewed vitality of the brand, is the result
of close cooperation between the Citroën stylists and the Citroën
sport team.

This car is not constrained by the limitations of sporting
regulations and represents a bold stylistic development that offers a
futuristic vision of post-Xsara WRC competition cars. The C4 Citroën
Sport is a ground-breaking project with a strong personality, an eloquent
expression of vitality and vigour in the guise of a rally car. Its colourful,
exciting character conveys an impression of sheer mechanical power.
The front end of the C4 Citroën Sport is one of its most distinctive
features, structured around the twin chrome chevrons that proudly identify
the brand. The curved bonnet, punctuated by incisive ridges, gives the
impression of pent-up power.
The front headlights extend to both the bonnet and the side panels, blending
into the profile of the wheel arches. The distinctive front lights make
a significant contribution to the car's personality, expressing energy,
drive and determination.
The internal structure of the headlights reflects the high level of technology,
and their shape exhibits both the power and the elegance of the vehicle.
The boomerang shaping of the headlights gives the C4 Citroën Sport
an intense, determined look.
The shape of the front lights enhances the fluid lines of the car, encouraging
admirers to follow the continuous movement from the front end of the vehicle
towards the wings in unbroken motion.
The car's personality comes from its shape, which combines the flowing
lines of the roof panels and quarter lights with the sharp angles of the
rear window. The aerial view of the C4 Citroën Sport highlights its
dynamic character and illustrates its innovative styling.
The roof extends right to the rear of the car, giving the C4 Citroën
Sport a particularly lithe profile and indicating excellent aerodynamic
performance. The lines of the roof combine with the shape of the quarter
window to suggest strong acceleration and heighten the perception of vitality.
The length of the roof and the sudden vertical drop at the rear appear
to shift the passenger compartment backwards, giving the C4 Citroën
Sport a compact, stable but sporty appearance. The impression of energy
is further enhanced by the very short rear overhang.

All the energy conveyed by the C4 Citroën Sport is visible in the
rear three-quarter view. The highly distinctive sudden drop of the roof
at the rear creates an impression of power. And the flow of the roof arches,
accentuated by the shape of the rear windows, enhances the car's flowing
lines.
The passenger compartment is exceptionally bright and airy thanks to a
totally transparent rear roof section that merges with the hatch window.
The roof arches make the car appear wide around the waistline, creating
an impression of stability. The highly aerodynamic, centrally-positioned
wing is styled strictly for racing.
The C4 Citroën Sport's passenger compartment is designed for competition,
reflecting Citroën Sport's experience in the World Rally Championship,
but offers a few refined additions for greater style and comfort.
The usual composite materials have been embellished with leather fittings
worthy of the most prestigious GT vehicles. The two-tone red and black
leather upholstery is stamped with the insignia of the C4 Citroën
Sport. The leather-covered door panels, bucket seats and steering wheel
provide the C4 Citroën Sport concept car with a dimension that reaches
far beyond the realms of motor sports.
