Citroën c2 super 1600

The possibility was offered to us to take part in the press presentation of the Citroen C2 Super 1600. We could detail the car under all its seams, and also co drive in the car with Sebastien Loeb, the World Rally Champion .

As of the first access, we are charmed by the compact and aggressive lines of the car. A strong impression of modernity emerges, and envies to like it and to control it is immediate. This car, which was as of its gestation conceived to be also a racing car, strikes by its width and the weakness of overhang.

The very high level of completion and sophisticated decoration contribute to underline the extremely neat character of the preparation.

Throughout the day when the changing climate enabled us to appreciate the behavior of the car on dry ground, or wet, it appears that this car is already very succeeded, as in road behavior as in reliability. We will also have been filled with wonder by the resistance and the availability of Sebastien Loeb. Also, when I could take seat with him to go on the testing road, he is a man which caused admiration, so much he was kind and was concerned of making well.

			A car with the extraordinary bond, a ultra-powerful braking, a general balance and a handiness except standard, a pilot out of the commun run, here is the cocktail presented by Citroen. If in the fast parts of the road, I was not too surprised, the car arriving rather quickly at the limiting device of mode, I was on the other hand surprised by the incredible speed in the very tight sequences. In spite of the wet ground, motricity is not taken at fault, adherence into side is extraordinary.
	Lastly, let us not forget the privilege to be with the "best pilot in the world", which exploits in a formidable way the potential of this quite pretty car.
