Citroen C5 Airscape concept

Following the C-Airlounge of 2003, the C-Airdream of 2005 and the C-Airplay of 2006, is the C5 Airscape.

Due to make its international debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show next month, this new Citroen concept acts as a spoiler for the forthcoming upper-medium C5 replacement dues soon. Unlike the forthcoming production car, the concept is a four seat coupe cabriolet which is aiming to show a new level of premium quality for the brand.

The Airscape also places emphasis on the new environmental powertrain innovations it showcases: a reversible starter-alternator, super-capacitors and regenerative braking. Together they allow the car to run at low speeds on electric power and have a smooth cut in and out of the V6 diesel engine, and minimise fuel consumption overall.
