The Citröen C-Elysée WTCC to be piloted by Sébastien Loeb was unveiled. On its way to the Frankfurt Motor Show, the Citröen C-Elysée WTCC is digitally unveiled.
The next season of the WTCC promises to be a hot one with the entry of this Citröen C-Elysée WTCC and driver Sébastien Loen. More than the entry of two winners, this moment will be fundamental for the WTCC, as we believe that it will now have even more projection worldwide. The entry of a driver like Sébastien Loeb will be a real lever of notoriety for the World Touring Car Championship.small but powerful engine
Under the hood of this aggressive backdrop is a 1.6 turbo engine with 380 hp and 400 nm connected to a sequential six-speed gearbox. The 1,100 kg in weight and the first engine and transmission data mentioned above are the only figures available so far, for a car that will be presented in September at the Frankfurt Motor Show. This Citröen C-Elysée WTCC is above all a commercial bet by Citröen, which is strategically positioned to promote a very important model for the brand, the Citröen C-Elysée.
A business objective to fulfill
Citröen's CEO, Frédéric Banzet, adds that the WTCC's visit to Latin America, Morocco, China and Russia will be an opportunity to exhibit the Citröen C-Elysée in important markets. The model, in this version of the Citröen C-Elysée WTCC, is expected to delight motor sport enthusiasts and perhaps even boost the entry and sale of the familiar low-cost double chevron brand in these countries.
