Citroen Hypnos: Creativity and Technology
PARIS - September 4, 2008: With the 2008 Paris Motor Show just a few weeks away, Citroën is unveiling Hypnos, a concept car illustrating a new take on the world of exceptional vehicles. An elegant cross-over vehicle, Hypnos draws on a range of creative technologies to deliver outstanding performance and environmental efficiency, combined with subtle but powerful motoring sensations.
An elegant and spellbinding concept car
Hypnos is an
impressive vehicle, combining the vitality of a coupé with the elegance of
a saloon and the space of an SUV. Powerful, flowing and expressive, the
exterior styling identifies Hypnos as a car to rouse the emotions. The
initial appeal of the exterior styling is confirmed by the cabin, with its
original colours and its ability to make technology more human and
approachable. A powerful sensory experience awaits the driver and
passengers, taking them into the realm of pure magic.
Innovation serving the environment
The special hybrid
technology used on Hypnos highlights Citroën’s commitment to the
environment and shows once again that this strong ecological focus is
always accompanied by driving thrills and efficiency. With its 200 bhp (147
kW) engine, Hypnos combines dynamic performance with low fuel consumption
and emissions (4.5 l/100 km and 120 g/km of CO2). Illustrating the
advantages of hybrid technology through a high-tech approach, Citroën has
designed a beautifully proportioned coupé with bold styling.
