The Type B12 was launched at the Paris Salon in 1926.

The B12 represented a development of the B10 with an all steel body and a reinforced chassis.

André Citroën launched a fleet of Paris taxis employing a special version of the B2.

The B12 remained in production until 1927.

Body styles were the same as for the B2 and included Torpédo 4 Places in Standard, Serie Luxe and Tourisme Luxe finishes, Conduite Interieure 3 and 4 places, Coupé, Landaulet, Normande, Taxi, Cabriolet and Coupé.

Citroën brought out the B2 Normande for rural customers - "Farmers, men of Progress, you have already replaced man's labour by the machine. Why not replace your horse by one when you have to go to market? Try out the automobile."

Citroën BX 4TC was the pinacle of Citroën's group B efforts. It was based on a similar concept to the Audi Quattro, in that it had a front-engine, monocoque chassis design. The BX 4TC could have been successful had it been introduced earlier, but because it was introduced in 1986, it was outclassed by competitors with space frames, mid-engine layouts and a several year development advantage. The BX 4TC competed in one world championship rally, suffered three mechanical failures, was rolled back onto the boat, and was never seen again in world rally competition.

Specifications:
  • Citroën BX-4TC
  • Homologation: 01.10.1986 (B279)
  • Class: Under 3000cc (2142cc x 1.4 = 2998cc)
  • Layout: Front Engine (Longetudinal) 4WD)
Engine Specifications:
  • Engine: 2142c Inline 4 cylinder
  • Induction: Forced (KKK Type K26 Turbo @ 18psi)
  • Redline: 8000rpm
  • Power: 380bhp @ 7000rpm
  • Torque: 253ft/lbs @ 5500rpm
Citroën built 20 of these Evolution BX 4TC's in the Citroën Competition workshop at Trappes. Technical father Guy Verrier developed this car using only Citroen parts, elements and mechanics. The 4TC EVO has basicly the same engine as the 4TC, only differences are the turbo-compressor (KKK type K26) at 18psi of boost. The engine reved to a maximum of 8000 rpm, maximum power of 380 bhp and 7000 rpm and maximum torque 253ft/lbs. at 5500 rpm. Drivers Jean-Claude Andruet and Phillipe Wambergue performed development tests piloted the BX 4TC's in rallies.

http://www.oldclassiccar.co.uk/classic-car-images/citroen-type-a.jpg

The Citroën Type A was the first car produced by Citroën from June 1919 to December 1921 in Paris. The Type A reached a production number of 24,093 vehicles.

During World War I, André Citroën was producing munitions. As early as 1917, Citroën investigated the development of a light car of the medium range under the direction of Jules Salomon.

Under the designation 10 HP Type A the car had a water-cooled 1327 cc four-cylinder engine and an output of 18 hp. Its maximum speed was 65 km/h (40 mph). The chassis had inverted quarter ellipic springs at the front and double quarter elliptics at the rear. Braking was on the rear wheels only controlled by a hand lever with a foot pedal operated transmission brake.

The chassis was made in two lengths and carried a variety of coachwork. The long chassis was available as Torpedo (four-seat tourer), Torpedo Sport, Conduite Intérieure, Coupe de Ville and light truck and the short chassis with Torpedo (3 seat), Conduite Intérieure, Coupe de Ville and camionnette (van).

In its first year of production, the standard Type A cost 7,950 francs. One year later the selling price had been raised to 12,500 francs.

DS3 is an assertive, urban 3-door supermini with radical styling, elegant detailing and an extensive choice of customisable design options for a bespoke driving experience. DS3 is the first model from Citroën’s new DS line, which will consist of three distinctively styled, attention grabbing cars – DS3, DS4 and DS5 – that highlight the very best of Citroën’s ‘Créative Technologie’.

DS3 will be offered in three new Citroën trim levels – DSign, DStyle and DSport – with a choice of three petrol and two HDi diesels ranging from 90hp to 150hp. All three DS3 petrol engines were co-developed with BMW.

An environmentally considerate 99g/km 1.6HDi 16V 90hp will also be available – delivering up to 74.3mpg.

The DS3 range starts with the petrol 1.4 16V VTi 95hp in DSign trim, which is priced from just £11,700.

The price of a fully specified, fully personalised, range-topping DSport model, powered by the punchy 1.6 THP 150hp petrol engine, is £18,775.

Due to great customer interest in the model, Citroën has taken the exceptional step of launching an online DS3 configurator – significantly in advance of the car’s on-sale date – so future owners can create their perfect DS3, based on their own performance and style preferences.

Customers start using the configurator by selecting the engine and trim level for their DS3. Then, depending on these initial choices, they can specify body colour, roof colour and roof graphics, as well as a host of other features like chrome door mirrors, chrome rubbing strips, up to 17” alloy wheels in different styles and colours, front LEDs, upholstery material and colour scheme, and even one of six colours for the dashboard and gear knob.

There are also equipment packs to choose from, which include features like automatic headlamps, rear parking sensors, MyWay satellite navigation, Connecting Box (Bluetooth with USB socket), and a front central armrest.

The choice is comprehensive and unprecedented for a new car by a mainstream manufacturer.




Citroen DS3 R

Citroen DS3 R
Citroen DS3 R
Citroen DS3 R to stick to the road, the car has undergone some significant sporting enhancements. The steering has been made even more precise, with the control system modified for the new tyres. The fitment of stiffer suspension springs, adapted front and rear shock absorbers (to handle the increased power), and the widening of the front and rear tracks by 30mm - plus lowering the car by 15mm - all dramatically change the driving dynamics.

These important developments reinforce both the stability and dynamic control of the car, and enhance the feedback between the road and the driver.

The braking system has also been up-rated to ensure control over the car’s additional horsepower. The front wheels get 4-piston racing callipers and special disc-brakes - with drilled discs at the rear. For enhanced control, the ESP has been adapted to complement the sportier handling, but can be disengaged according to the driver’s preference.

In addition to the distinctive, radical styling of Citroen DS3, the new Racing edition inherits Citroen Racing’s expertise in motorsport design to provide advanced technological and stylistic sporting prowess.

2010 Citroën Metropolis ConceptMetropolis' powerful hybrid drivetrain utilises an optimised 2-litre V6 petrol engine and a 7-speed, dual-clutch electronic gearbox. At low speeds, Metropolis runs in Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) mode, with its electric motor developing a continuous 55bhp (40kW), peaking at 95bhp (70kW). At steady speeds on main roads and motorways, the petrol powerplant efficiently provides 272bhp (200kW) and 375Nm of torque. When additional performance is required, such as during overtaking, the car uses both the electric motor and the combustion engine to deliver a maximum power output of 460bhp (345kW) and 430Nm of torque - equivalent to a 4-litre V8 petrol engine. There's also a four-wheel drive mode for when extra grip is needed.

Delivering a smooth and cosseting ride experience, Metropolis is specified with Citroën's renowned Hydractive suspension, which dampens even the roughest of road surfaces and improves the car's aerodynamic performance - further helping to reduce CO2 emissions.

2010 Citroen DS3 R3
FIA’s new Group R3T regulations, DS3 R3 features the same structural design and appearance as the production model, with the production steel body shell reinforced by a welded, multi-point roll cage, improving the resilience of the chassis and safety for the driver pairing.

Under the bonnet lies a four-cylinder 1.6-litre THP (high pressure turbo) engine, which has been developed using the PSA production engine. Specific racing parts (air box, camshaft, pistons, connecting rods, exhaust and turbo systems, electronic unit, etc.) have been deployed to boost the car’s power to 210bhp. In addition to its overall power, special attention has been given to increasing the engine’s torque to improve traction, one of the key factors in delivering efficient driving performance. With 350Nm, the DS3 R3 engine offers unrivalled flexibility on the road.

DS3 R3 has benefitted from the extensive expertise acquired by Citroen Racing through its involvement in the World Rally Championship. As with the C4 WRC, the six-speed gearbox features semi-automatic sequential control, enabling gear changes to be made twice as quickly as with a manual gearbox, whilst also improving the reliability of the car’s powertrain.

The suspension system uses the very latest technologies and has been designed for all road surfaces, from rough gravel to smooth tarmac. A wide variety of setup options are available, allowing DS3 R3 to be adapted to all driving styles. Citroen Racing recommends the use of BFGoodrich tyres.

Citroen DS High Rider Concept

2010 Citroen DS High Rider ConceptCitroen DS High Rider
Citroen DS High Rider
DS High Rider is an object of desire that stands apart through its coherent design, that of a “beautiful automobile” placing the emphasis on harmonious forms through sensual and physically-present design that avoids caricature. Raised ground clearance and the strong on-road presence of the 19-inch diamond-effect alloy wheels structure the car’s proportions and make a defining contribution to DS High Rider’s character. The priority focus on authentically elegant forms also served to avoid the generic effects often used to typecast vehicles. The wheel arches and the forms of the car, particularly the flanks, are enough in themselves to express the robustness and protective character of the concept car. Components such as the front and rear bumpers, while also expressing vitality and agility, are perfectly integrated in the body styling and underline the overall harmony.
