Citroën Survolt: First Look

Citroën Survolt

France - Citroën first revealed the Survolt full-electric supercar at the Geneva Motor Show earlier in the year.

The Survolt has since then made its track debut last weekend at the Le Mans Classic racing event. Sitting behind the wheel was racing driver Vanina Ickx, daughter of Belgian Formula One pilot, Jacky Ickx.

"I am very proud to have participated in this unique project," said Vanina. "On the track it felt really good. It's a real race car, with a very promising potential for the future."

The Citroën Survolt wasn't the only supercar to lap the Le Mans Circuit, joining the group was the GTbyCITROËN supercar concept and a host of DS3 models.

The compact supercar is 3.85metres long and features a tubular frame with a full carbon body and a flat underside.

The front of the vehicle features a large oval-shaped grille where the distinctive double chevron badge resides. Its slim, horizontal head lamps, inspired by high-performance sports coupés, exert a sleek and sporty appeal, while an LED light signature adds a contemporary touch.

The Citroën Survolt is powered by two electric motors that deliver up to 224kW of power. This allows the car to reach speeds up to around 260km/h while taking just under five seconds to accelerate from 0-100km/h.

Sending power to the motors is two 140kg lithium-ion batteries that offer around 200km from a single charge. Re-charging takes around two hours with a specific power supply, or in 10 hours on a standard 220 Volt network.
