C2 V6

Une fois de plus, CITROËN s’est associé à l’école de design et de construction automobile ESPERA SBARRO de Pontarlier (département du Doubs – France), pour permettre de laisser libre cours à l’imagination et au talent des jeunes étudiants de Franco SBARRO.

En 2004, CITROËN confiait de nouvelles tâches aux 30 élèves et trois formateurs d’ESPERA, en leur proposant le cahier des charges suivant : réaliser une version « kit car » de C2.
En intégrant le plus gros des moteurs dans la plus petite des Citroën, les étudiants d’ESPERA ont développé un véhicule original au caractère sportif et ludique.
Cette vision de C2 a nécessité un certain nombre de modifications :

techniques :
● train avant et arrière repensés

mécaniques :
● implantation d’un moteur 3000 cm3, V6, 24 soupapes, 220 ch, boite de vitesses mécanique 5 rapports

sur la carrosserie :
● ajout d’un arceau de sécurité

● ajout de 2 sièges baquets avec harnais

● partie arrière qui s’ouvre en un seul morceau pour faciliter l’accès à la mécanique

divers :
● Jantes : avant, 8 x 18 O.Z superturismo GT
arrière, 9 x 19 O.Z superturismo GT

● Pneus : avant, 225/40/18 BF GOODRICH g.force profiler
arrière, 225/35/19 BF GOODRICH g.force profiler

Bonnet still needs holding down even if there's nothing under it!
