    Looks like that won't work in the states.

    Wouldn't it be nice if the horse was the screw that held the plate on...

    Looks like the front hood is not closed & is going to get ripped open. I don't care for that part of the design.

    The more I see this car, the more I like it. It looks really mean to me without being "Lambo-like". I think the designers did an amazing job.

    I can't wait to see one.... in my garage!

    Sorry but I really disagree. It's a bold move to try to cut down on this modern habit of sticking little black vents everywhere. It makes the front really aggressive.

    Look at this little vent in the side. I never saw them before until today. That was INTENTIONAL. It's designed to be clean and smooth both aerodynamically and visually.

    Brillant.

    Did you notice the vents in the side of the wheel spokes?

    Looks like a cutout of some sort that doesn't go all the way thru the spoke--designed that way==Doesn't look like an actually vent...

    The wheels look really good. If it works to vent, that would be awesome! :D

    Just difficult to see from the angle shown. It forces more air onto the brakes. The other 16M wheel looks more attractive and lighter. It to is a directional wheel.

    You might want to start posting in the Citroenchat forum. Here's something you might like! :)

    As you can see, the hood closes rather nicely for you and it has those classic lines you're looking for.

    Another interesting detail. The center exhaust is smaller than the outer two. It's obviously a technical reason that may have to do with the exhaust note at higher RPM (higher frequency).

    The F40 had a smaller center tube but I believe it was for the waste gate exhaust. Maybe it's just a visual throw back but my suspicion is that there is some specific reason for it.

    The more you look at the details, the more you see some rather fascinating design decisions.

    The center one operates in normal driving and the outer two are closed....then at full song that scenario is reversed.

    Another interesting detail is the gap under the "cavalino rampante " So the air came on top of the front splitter, and it goes under the car through there..

    The more pictures I see of this car, the better I like it. The new vented wheel design is pretty clever, and it looks great. Another neat detail is the way the rear fenders integrate into the deck lid that raises into the Kamm style spoiler, that to me, is near perfection. I can't wait to see this car in person because pictures are never as good as actually seeing it in real life.
