PARIS - December 7, 2006: Based on the C4 Coupé, the C4 by LOEB, with its sharp, stand-out styling, is a product of Citroën’s desire to develop a new line of dynamic vehicles echoing its participation in the World Rally Championship. The C4 by LOEB offers drivers a harmonious blend of sporting passion and day-to-day driving pleasure.

And to further emphasise its singular nature, the vehicle sports generously sized 17 inch Resolfen wheels, in white or, if preferred, Metallure grey, that ensure peerless roadholding whatever the engine version.
Along with body-coloured wing mirrors, each C4 by LOEB features a unique, numbered signature. The inside like the outside has a clean, high-tech look that is both sporty and dynamic. The red mesh and alcantara seats are enhanced with topstitching, while the leather front headrests are adorned with embroidered red chevrons.
The door panels are covered in special trim featuring a leather medallion with red topstitching. Also in leather is the central armrest, decorated with red stitching as is the steering wheel, offering a comfortable, reassuring driving position.
To step up the sporty vibe, the C4 by LOEB is equipped with an aluminium pedal set and, apart from on the 138 bhp HDi DPFS, gear lever knob and comes with metallic air vents, gear lever base and ashtray.
Adding to the wealth of personalised features, the C4 by LOEB cabin also includes mistral colour-coded protective mats with red braid and special Citroën embroidery. The C4 by LOEB is fitted as standard with cruise control and a speed limiter for a serene driving experience.
The C4 by LOEB adds the pleasure of driving a customised and exclusive vehicle to the recognised qualities of the C4 – comfort, safety and vitality.
C4 by LOEB is available with the 110 bhp 1.6i 16V, 143 bhp 2.0i 16V and 180 bhp 2.0i 16V petrol engines and the 5-speed 110 bhp HDi, 5-speed 110 bhp HDi DPFS and 6-speed 138 bhp HDi DPFS diesels.
C2 by LOEB
With its big personality, the C2 was a natural choice to accompany the C4 by LOEB. Based on the VTR/VTS trim levels, the charismatic C2 by LOEB fuses forceful, bold lines with elegant, harmonious styling.
The C2 by LOEB looks great in both colours on offer: elegant and restrained in Onyx black or sporty and seductive in Aden red. Like its C4 by LOEB sister, the vehicle is fitted with a coloured spoiler that boosts its hot-hatch persona and aerodynamics. It features special wing mirrors with Alu grey or Aden red housings, according to the body colour, while 16-inch Suzuka or Guépard alloy wheels pump up the racer appeal with aggressively-styled flared spokes.
The C2 is equipped with a “by LOEB” sticker on the doors and tailgate and a numbered sticker on the driver’s door only. The high-tech interior of the C2 by LOEB perfectly matches its sporty lines, with a harmonious blend of chrome, aluminium, black material and red mesh for stylish, original appeal. The black-and-red seats are topped with matching headrests featuring embroidered chevrons on the back. Drivers benefit from a leather steering wheel with red topstitching, chrome-lined dials, and racing-style aluminium pedals (for manual versions) and gear lever knob. The driver’s seat is height-adjustable for the best possible driving position.
Equipped with the 125 bhp 1.6i 16V engine, the C2 by LOEB comes with 100% switchable ESP. C2 by LOEB ships with the 110 bhp 1.6i 16V SensoDrive and 5-speed 125 bhp 1.6i 16V petrol engines.
