Citroen C6 Lignage Concept - The art of travel

The name c6 Lignage reflects Citroen’s determination for the new car to become one of the Marque’s greats.  Almost 70 years ago, between 1928 and 1933, the C6 dominated the category of top-of-the-range vehicles of the period, with more than 60,000 examples sold.  Many celebrities owned one.  The C6 was the first in a long line of great Citroen saloons.  C6 Lignage has adopted the motto of its illustrious ancestor:  make intelligent innovations in architecture and technology, while promoting well-being and safety.

With the exploratory concept of C6 Lignage, Citroen sets out an original approach to a top-of-the-range vehicle for the future.  C6 Lignage illustrates an ambition of considerable importance to the Marque:  to refuse compromise and to combine different sources of inspiration.

Designed by Citroen’s Creative Styling Centre, C6 Lignage expresses the Marque’s creative talent and its ability to develop new ideas.  C6 Lignage expresses a new approach to ongoing efforts to combine exceptional roadholding with the art of on-board living.  An enlightened application of the Marque’s architectural principles, C6 Lignage is dedicated to wide-open spaces.  A touring vehicle, C6 Lignage is designed to cover long distances.  Inside the vehicle, men and women travel in comfort and safety, enjoying the well-being offered by their surroundings.

The purpose of the C6 Lignage is immediately perceptible to the onlooker, expressed through its proportions and style.  With its subtle, fluid lines, it appears poised for action.  The profile reflects efforts to optimize aerodynamics.  The long front overhang (1.09 m) and short rear express, movement, strength and latent power.  Set apart from the roof pillars, the boot blends in with the overall fluidity of the design lines.

The interior space of C6 Lignage is more than generous, as indicated by the 3-metre wheelbase.  Space is considered to be essential to on-board well-being.  The four occupants have individual seats, which can be adjusted to enjoy all the options of life on board.

The interior of the C6 Lignage is luxurious.  High-quality materials, such as leather and wood in attractive, matching shades, create a warm and relaxing atmosphere of the interior, while providing individual space for each occupant.

Passengers in the rear are not forgotten.  Relaxing in their comfortable seats, they can watch television, see a film, hook up to their office computer, log onto the Internet or simply read of sleep.  The functionalities offered by the Xm Multimedia give an idea of the possibilities offered by the C6 Lignage.

The time and thought given to the aerodynamics, perceptible in the smallest detail, serve to reduce fuel consumption and thus pollutant emissions.  For example, cameras replace conventional rearview mirrors, the windscreen wipers are streamlined and the radiator grille will have mobile fins, managed electronically according to vehicle speed.

The C6 Lignage is dedicated to one main idea:  well-being.  Its generous forms reflect its strength, an expression of an exceptional vehicle
