Citroen Survolt debuts at Le Mans circuit
Posted by Tom Benjamin
Citroens Survolt concept racing car, which has LED car bulbs, made its debut at the Le Mans Classic event last weekend.
The all-electric vehicle was piloted by experienced female racing driver Vanina Ickx.
“I am very proud to have participated in this unique project. On the track it felt really good. Its a real race car, with a very promising potential for the future,” she said.
The Survolts two electric motors provide as much as 300bhp, which can bring the car to a top speed of 162mph and it can go from zero to 62mph in less than five seconds.
Its twin 140kg lithium-ion batteries can cover 124 miles before they need to be recharged, which can be completed in just two hours with a specific power supply, or ten hours on the standard 220 volt network.
The vehicle boasts two-tone, fuchsia and charcoal grey paintwork and it offers both “comfort and refinement” on the interior, according to Citroens website.
