Craftsmanship Redefined: The Shooting Brake Elegance

Citroen C-Metisse Concept Car

Behold the C-Metisse, a five-door 2+2 shooting brake that transcends conventional design. The exterior is not just a sight to behold; it's a testament to Citroen's commitment to crafting cars that are an embodiment of art on wheels. This is more than a car; it's an experience in design, with each line and curve telling a story of meticulous craftsmanship.

Specifications that Ignite Excitement

Under the hood roars a 2.7 L V6 diesel engine, a powerhouse that commands 208 hp on the front axles. But that's not all—two electric-wheel motors by TM4 Electrodynamic Systems, each contributing 20 hp on the rear axles, transform this vehicle into a marvel of hybrid technology. The result? A lightning-fast 0–100 km/h in just 6.2 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h, all while sipping fuel at a miserly rate of 6.5 litres per 100 kilometres.

Driving Pleasure Meets Eco-Friendliness

C-Metisse is not just about power; it's about responsible driving pleasure. The diesel hybrid drivetrain, a combination of a V6 HDi DPFS engine and electric motors, respects the environment while delivering unparalleled performance. In ZEV mode, it glides silently, emitting zero emissions. On highways, the V6 HDi diesel engine sets high standards of efficiency, with a consumption level of 6.5 l/100 km for CO² emissions of 174 g/km.

With a Cd of 0.30, achieved through innovative features like enlarged air intakes, a flat underside, and retractable airfoils, the C-Metisse is a visual and dynamic masterpiece. Reduced weight, thanks to a carbon body and trellis, contributes to both performance and fuel economy.

Chevrolet Concept Cars: Ten Of Our Favorites

Most celebrations of Chevrolet's centennial surround the automaker's production vehicles. Why not? After all, this is the brand that birthed legends like the Bel Air, Corvette, and Camaro, among others. Those vehicles are certainly worth celebrating, but we can't help but wonder: what about the Chevrolet cars that never saw a production line? We've scoured through the history books (and our memory banks) to pick out ten of our all-time favorites.

Aventador S | The design draws inspiration from predators and aeronautics

As much as the Aventador is the car most entitled to represent the Lamborghini brand values, the Aventador S is the expression of the Lamborghini flagship par excellence, embodying the utmost synergy between design and engineering in pure Lamborghini style. The “S” has existed for 50 years The first Lamborghini S model was launched 50 years ago to represent the evolution of already revered icons. In fact, the further development of the Miura into a more improved version dates back to 1968, followed by Islero, Countach and Urraco. When the Aventador reaped this legacy and decided to surpass itself, the Aventador S was born. The design draws inspiration from predators and aeronautics The Aventador S presents pure refinement of the iconic design that remains true to the Lamborghini DNA, enhancing its mix of dynamism, refinement and aggressiveness. The sharp lines and surfaces of the front end evoke images of a shark fin, transmitting the same force and elegance when d...

1985 Audi Sport Quattro: The Group B Homologation Special

In Austria in 1980, just a year after four-wheel drive cars became eligible to compete in the WRC, Audi debuted the first Quattro rally car and forever changed the sport. Over the next half of the decade (and onwards, if you count the Pikes Peak specials), these Audis would be subjected to a period of rapid iterative evolution that led to the short-wheelbase Sport Quattro models that helped define the infamously fast and dangerous era of Group B rallying. The relatively lax nature of the Group B regulations gave rise to a number of downright ferocious cars from Audi’s competitors (most notable being Lancia and Peugeot), and while it was not the most successful nor technologically advanced of these top tier cars by the end of the Group B era, the Sport Quattro is a worthy poster child for the lot of them—being first to the punch has its advantages. The advent of the Group B class provided manufacturers with practically every leeway imaginable given they adhered to a basic s...
