Citroën At Le Bourget Show
CITROËN is returning to aeronautics with the presentation of two outstanding objects at the Paris Air Show in Le Bourget from 20 to 26 June. The first is the CITROËN DS5, a true aerodynamic sculpture, and the second, the MC 500 airship, powered by a fuel cell. Faithful to its ‘Créative Technologie’ image, CITROËN is investing in the development of a new-generation airship, demonstrating convergences in image and value between the worlds of automobiles and future airships. The event is also an opportunity for the brand to showcase its technological expertise.
CITROËN created its own helicopter back in the 1970s, called ER 2. Today the brand is partnering the development of a new-generation airship with a fuel-cell motor supplied by the PSA Peugeot Citroën Group.
Another technological innovation on show at Le Bourget was the CITROËN DS5. The first CITROËN to feature Hybrid4 full-hybrid diesel technology, the DS5 is also a true aerodynamic sculpture with flowing yet taut styling. The new model expresses the finest in CITROËN expertise. The driving position is cockpit inspired, with buttons, thumb wheels and special toggles, to be handled with a pilot’s touch. The CITROËN DS5 also features a head-up display system that projects essential driving information in colour in the driver’s direct line of vision.
The Marque has already shown its aim to make journeys easier with the CITROËN Multicity offer. Partnering the presentation of the new-generation MC 500 at the Paris Air Show confirms that the brand wants to bring consumers tailored and innovative travel solutions that go beyond the simple provision of a vehicle.

Citroen Créative Tour
CITROËN launches “Créative Tour” to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Croisière Jaune
André Citroën launched the Croisière Jaune in 1931. A pioneering rally raid from Beirut to Beijing along routes that had never before been travelled by motorised vehicles, the expedition fascinated the world. Eight decades later, the brand has lost none of its daring spirit. To celebrate the anniversary of this extraordinary scientific, artistic and human adventure, CITROËN is launching a new cross-border event, “CITROËN Créative Tour”, an innovative road show drawing young and old into the world of “Créative Technologie” complete with parades of outstanding concept cars. The tour kicks off in Europe in Berlin from 17 to 19 June, followed by Paris from 24 to 26 June and Moscow in September. The celebrations will continue in China before the year’s end with more surprises.
A movable pavilion for an innovative road show
In 1931, faced with the crossing of the Himalayas and the danger of landslides, the valiant pioneers of the Croisière Jaune had to dismantle their half-track vehicles to get through the roughest terrain. Some 80 years later, the brand has once again chosen the same dismantle-and-reassemble principle for the CITROËN Créative Tour. This original road show will be stopping in Berlin at the BallonGarten park from 17 to 19 June, in Paris at the Invalides building from 24 to 26 June and in the centre of Moscow in the autumn, before moving on to China for more festivities.
Three “domes” for three distinct creative exhibition spaces
Comprising three linked-up domes, the pavilion used for the CITROËN Créative Tour illustrates all of the brand’s boldness and creativity:
- “Innovation” dome: the largest space in the pavilion immediately transports the visitor to the world of CITROËN “Créative Technologie”. The vehicles are displayed alongside astonishing contemporary and interactive artistic creations. The sculptural bonnet of the CITROËN C4, finished in heat-sensitive paint, constitutes a work of art in its own right. The “Revolte” concept car is flanked by the DS line, namely the DS3, DS4 and DS5. This last model, revealed in Shanghai in April, will be the first CITROËN to feature full-hybrid technology, HYbrid4.
- “Sensation” dome: this space, located at the centre of the pavilion, is dedicated to interactivity and digital leisure. Visitors can have a go at “Live Car Painting”, colouring in the roof of the CITROËN DS3 using a touch screen. Thrill seekers can get behind the wheel of the GTbyCITROËN concept car on the famous Gran Turismo 5 game, available on Sony PlayStation 3.
- “Adventure” dome: the third space showcases the daring exploit of the 1931 Croisière Jaune. A half-track vehicle is on show, surrounded by the expedition equipment that was used at the time. Visitors also get to relive highlights of the adventure with a map of the expedition animated by films projected by a special robot!
In each capital city destination, the CITROËN Créative Tour will feature parades of the brand’s emblematic concept cars three times a day. With models including Survolt, a 100% electric true-blooded racing car, and GT by CITROËN, a real-life version of the car designed by CITROËN for the Gran Turismo 5 video game, thrills are guaranteed! And for still more excitement, CITROËN is organising a competition via a dedicated mini-website (www.creativetour.citroen.com), with lucky winners getting an insider’s view of the event as a passenger in one of these exceptional cars!
Practical information:
- Free admission
- Berlin: BallonGarten park, Friday 17 to Sunday 19 June 2011, 10 am to 8 pm.
- Paris: Cour du Dôme des Invalides, Friday 24 to Sunday 26 June 2011, 10 am to 7 pm.

New DS3 Collection
One of the most attractive features of the CITROËN DS3 is its radical, seductive style, which becomes exclusive in a variety of personalized styles. For the summer season, the CITROËN DS3 is sporting new Hickory brown body paint in addition to the ten existing colours. CITROËN has also introduced a new decorative sticker theme, Flavio, 100% inspired by the winning roof of the CITROËN Creative Awards. The abstract, gold adhesive decoration is named after its designer. The brand has thus delivered on its promises by marketing the winning project from its first international design competition. The CITROËN DS3 is a decidedly individual and original automotive object.
For customers who aspire to something even more exclusive, the CITROËN DS3 is now available in a special limited series of 750 cars called ‘Grey Matter’. The special series model features a matte grey body with chrome detailing on the side mirrors, side strips and tail light casings. The roof comes in black or white, enhanced by a decorative kit and 17-inch diamond alloy wheels in the same colours. The interior features Mistral leather and a MyWay Select Comfort Pack, which includes automatic climate control, the MyWay navigation system and the HiFi system. Two petrol engines are available for an exclusive driving experience: the VTi 120 and the THP 150, priced at €23,400 and €24,950 ex-VAT respectively.
The CITROËN DS3 boasts an irresistible power of attraction and has already won a number of distinctions. The latest is “Women’s World Car of the Year”, voted in April by a panel of 14 female journalists and racing drivers from around the world. The criteria were safety, design, storage space, driving ease and environmental features – all decisive factors for women when they buy a car.
