2012 Citroen DS4

ADVERTISEMENTS

Citroën has released first details for the new Citroën DS4, a unique and attractive blend of creativity, dynamism, exclusivity and versatility. DS4 is the second model in Citroën's distinctively-styled DS line.



Citroën DS4 brings an alluring mixture of premium design codes and a bold approach to automotive styling, with an emphasis on driving pleasure and advanced vehicle architecture. DS4 is a model with a multitude of talents, effortlessly responding to a broad range of owner needs, while enhancing the appeal and vitality of the motoring experience.



Citroën DS4 combines sophistication and refinement with a dynamic coupé-like body, creating exceptional versatility and day-to-day practicality within a compact design - 4.27m (l), 1.81m (w) & 1.53m (h).



Citroën DS4 delivers a new "at-the-wheel" experience with unrivalled driving sensations and outstanding agile on-road handling. With its slightly raised stance and taut lines, Citroën DS4 is a unique and eye-catching addition to the segment.



Finely crafted to convey a prestigious presence both inside and out, Citroën DS4 offers meticulous detailing from carefully applied chrome touches to premium cabin materials - such as the finest quality leather seats. A large panoramic windscreen, offering enhanced occupant visibility, illuminates the driver-focused cockpit, creating a bright and welcoming environment.



Combining coupé style with 2+2 door practicality, Citroën DS4 offers three full-sized rear seats, accessed by rear doors with hidden handles that are seamlessly integrated into the body's flowing lines. Citroën DS4 also benefits from a capacious 370-litre boot and a host of clever storage solutions.

2012 Citroen DS9

ADVERTISEMENTS

The new 2012 Citroen DS9 is highly dependent on the Metropolis concept and is also known as Lemon Metropolis DS9. Citroen plans to DS9 in the Asian market with force.

Citroen has long been in the shadows of the Germans. The DS9, which is based off of the Metropolis concept, is the company’s attempt to move up market and challenge the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7-Series, Jaguar XJ, and the Audi A8.



The name Metropolis was created for a reason. At 5.3 meters long and 2 meters wide, it’s longer than a long-wheelbase Mercedes S-Class and wider than a Maybach.



As you can easily notice, the design language is inspired by the Hypnos concept and was entirely developed by PSA Group’s Shanghai design studio. The rear of the DS9 takes the vehicles overall width and blends it with a stunning aerodynamic line. The Metropolis is powered by a hybrid drive train that combines a 2.0-liter V6 engine with an output of 272bhp and 277lb ft and an electric motor that develops from 55bhp to 95bhp. As stated earlier, the competition for the DS9 will be the larger German sedans, the S-Class, 7-Series, XJ, and the A8. Exterior design is a matter of opinion, but we think the DS9 is stunning.



CITROEN’S gigantic Metropolis limousine concept and the plug-in electric Survolt coupe showcar both appear destined for production, judging by comments made to Britain’s Autocar.



The PSA design boss suggested to Autocar that a Citroen-badged version of the Metropolis, which made its world debut – wearing Citroen’s double-chevron logo - at Expo 2010 Shanghai in China on May 1, would be a lucrative proposition for the company in markets like China.



But he made it clear the production Metropolis could also be sold in Europe – and potentially therefore Australia – as a flagship for Citroen’s new DS sub-brand, badged as the DS9.



“A large, characterful DS flagship model – we could call it a DS9 to reference the original DS19 – could do great things for us.”

At the same time, the low-slung Metropolis, which follows in the footsteps of large Citroen saloons such as the long-wheelbase ‘Presidential’ versions of the legendary DS from the 1960s, is just 1.4 metres tall.



It was powered by the same 185kW electric drive system as the compact concept, which measures 3850mm long, 1870mm wide and 1200mm high

A re-post from Jalopnik, Thanks!

They'll learn the most from the one that's still around after our doom, of course.

They could learn why a human would spend valuable family vacation time doing a solo blast across country in the dead of winter in a $500 crapcan without heat, windows, or a spare water pump.

Lamborghini Countach. With it, they'll know that at least one of them has been living on here on this planet

 A nice pair!

They will look upon it and learn the follies that lead to our downfall: our obsession with conspicuous consumption, and that many males of our species had small penises.

"Sir, we have uncovered the mating rituals of the humans! Reportedly, when they found a mate, they would bring her to this conveyance, known as a van. When the van was a rockin', it was a sign that the mating rituals had begun, and the rest of the humans were advised to not come a knockin'

They need to see what batshit crazy off roading can be on our planet.

Saturns, which will inevitably lead them to discover our subconscious fixation on the Uranus of cars.

Lots of good answers! Of course my answer is as expected as $kaycog's will be haha. The Stratos looks alien, maybe it will make them feel at home! It shows our love of hooning on all types of Earth's surfaces and it can defy gravity!

Toyota Hilux. No vehicle better encapsulates man's love of travel and exploration and also our inexplicable love of stuff. Plus there are Hilux's everywhere on the global carrying nearly everything humanity as every created. From rocket launchers and flat screen TVs, to life saving necessities and the funniest automotive journalists to ever grace the globe.

"OK guys, i think i got it now, there was some kind of military conflict on this planet, but one of the parties had drastically inferior weapon systems."

2011 Citroen C-Zero

ADVERTISEMENTS

The Citroen has announced a 100 percent electric vehicle called the Citroen C-Zero. The 3.48m-long city car is based on the Mitsubishi i-MiEV as well as sister company Peugeot's iOn.



2011 Citroen C-Zero is a full-electric vehicle powered by a permanent magnet synchronous motor delivering 47kW or 64bhp EEC from 3,000 to 6,000rpm. Maximum torque of 180Nm is available from 0 to 2,000rpm. Power is transmitted to the rear axle via a single-speed reduction gear.



The motor is powered by a latest-generation 330-volt lithium-ion battery system comprising 88 50Ah cells (for onboard energy of 16kWh), mounted in the centre of the vehicle. Lithium-ion technology keeps battery weight down compared with conventional technology, while offering equivalent performance. It is also resistant to partial re-charges, which have no impact on battery longevity.





EASY TO CHARGE, EASY TO USE



Re-charging the 2011 C-Zero's batteries could not be simpler. Owners plug the supply cord into a 220-volt socket. A complete charge takes six hours, while an 80% charge is possible in just 30 minutes using an external station with a single-phase current of 125A at 400V, for power of up to 50kW.



Using the car is equally simple. When the driver turns the ignition key, a beep confirms that the car is running. Citroen C-Zero drives like a regular car with an automatic gearbox. The traditional fuel gauge is replaced by a battery charge indicator.





A NEW PRODUCT OFFERING CONSISTENT WITH CITROEN POLICY



Long committed to a policy of reducing fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, Citroen - a leading manufacturer of low CO2 cars - is adding the C-Zero to a range that already features a wealth of environmentally respectful products.



Current Citroen achievements:

• New C3 and DS3 models emitting 99g/km of CO2 will be available from launch in 2010.


• More than 30% of Citroen vehicles sold emit less than 120g/km of CO2.

Up-coming technologies:

• Widespread application of second-generation Stop & Start in 2010.


• Launch of a full-hybrid vehicle, the DS5, in 2011.
