Citroen CX Chases Renault 5 in French TV Show

November 2009

We can't tell you what cheezoid cop show you're watching, nor can we tell you why the chiseled good guy in the Renault 5 is pursuing the obvious baddie in the Citroën.

It appears that the guy in the 5, finding himself behind the CX, takes a "short cut" across the countryside in order to reappear… still behind the CX. Some pretty good Franco-hoonage here, and that's what counts!

 

 


WORLD'S FASTEST 2CV

June 2009

It takes inspired madness to imagine that the perfect mate for a Ferrari 355 chassis could be a Citroen 2CV Fourgonnette body. 

Imagine motoring along at a respectable 100 mph on one of Europe's many Autoroutes when in your mirror appears the fast-approaching grille of a 2CV Truckette.  "What the.." you utter as it flashes its headlights at you and you pull to the right while watching the Truckette blow by you at an impossibly-high speed.  You tap your speedometer and make a mental note to visit your Porsche mechanic next week.

This is the result after 1,500 hours of work by Nimik, an group of crazy Italians who like to build rally cars and turn heads doing it.  Nicolo Lamberti, 35, and Milko Dalla Costa, 51, who run the Italian 'Nimik' rally team, took the chassis and engine of a speedy Ferrari F355 Berlinetta and combined it with the body of a 12bhp Citroen 2CV Fourgonnette.  

The car was created by essentially lowering the body of the Fourgonette over the stripped chassis of the Ferrari and then stitching everything together. Of course, the body had to be widened and the air-intakes fabricated and a thousand other things, but holy Moses, the results speak for themselves.  Capable of 180 mph and going from 0-60 mph in 5 seconds, this demonic 2CV is certainly bound to get some mixed reactions at any  car show: indignant howls of outrage from the Ferrari faithful and smiles of approval from the rest of us.

NEW CITROEN DS?

February 2009

Citroen is reviving the DS name to try and build some heritage back into its future range. The 2011 Citroen DS3 will be the first and smallest member of a three-car range, going on sale mid-2010. A mid-size DS4 will be next, followed by a top-of-the-line DS5.  Unfortunately, the DS3 seems to take more styling cues from the current Mini than Citroen's venerable and classic DS19 or DS21.  One hopes that the DS4 and DS5 will copy some of the DS' original and innovative styling.
