Now on sale at dealers Citroën in Portugal, the crossover C4 Cactus Rip Curl is positioned as “a proposal 100% ‘cool’ and one that is based on an enriched level of equipment with dedicated and advanced style elements technologies, from the top version – SHINE – that is grounds for you. ” In other words, the irreverent French model comes with new features that enhance his vocation “outdoor”. Featured is the debut feature of Grip Control technology, which gives it greater tractive power and a set of stylistic notes that emphasize the crossover slope to a younger audience. Unless the grandmother is a radical and want to go to Mass in a vehicle where the drive has been reinforced.
Advertising filmed in Portugal
to promote this special series, Citroën joined the agency Les Gaulois, which created a new advertising film shot in Portugal. You can see it here.
With the title “The road is your new spot”, the video has as its protagonist the French professional surfer Vincent Duvignac, which is sponsored by Rip Curl.
Along with specific tires Mud & amp; Snow, the Grip Control technology allows this C4 Cactus is a kind of “enfant terrible”. It is often said that “the good boys go to heaven, the others go to wherever they want.” This is the case of the special series Rip Curl, which is prepared to go anywhere, thanks to an advanced traction control, built-in calculator ESP system, which manages the slip of the front wheels. There are five ways to adapt the locomotion to the floor in question, being very easy to select via the rotary control, which is the center of the dashboard, the one that best fits the circumstances of use.
When the route is carried out, mainly, on normal roads, ie with low slippage rates, Cactus surfer can parade in fashionable streets or go to tanning the sunny roads of the coast in “standard”. But if you want to put the shot in sand, to get closer to the most beautiful “spots” of surfing, just have to take the towel to extend. Pressing the “sand”, which runs up to 120 km / h, the model starts to make use of the simultaneous slippage of the two-wheel drive front, allowing you to progress in loose floors without raising big waves. With an advantage. The possibility of diving in the sand and stay there bogged is greatly reduced
But if instead of bathing activities will interest more the winter sports or the challenges of all-terrain, know the C4 Cactus Rip Curl, although clearly associated with a world reference in the surfing world, also is not made to beg. Since the goal thing water. If you have ahead slippery roads, the driver only has to look around and decide: this more slips for snow or all-terrain? In either case, the control grip is up to the moment. In the latter case, the system acts as a limited slip differential, ensuring the starting of the vehicle in special conditions, transferring to the higher wheel grip the maximum torque possible. Up to 80 km / h all quiet from that speed, the system automatically moves to the “standard” mode. Already when it has to overcome difficult bonding conditions such as ice, triggering mode “snow,” slippage of each of the drive wheels is adapted to the circumstances, since the running at a speed of 50 km / h.
the French crossover also did not forget that there is, quite simply, who face the road as a challenge that must be overcome without any interference. Selecting “ESP Off”, the driver turns off the electronic stability control (active up to 50 km / h) and is at your own risk. Should measure it well, because this special series of Cactus is associated with higher performance range engines, coupled to a manual gearbox – 1.2 PureTech 110 S & amp; S CVM gasoline and diesel 1.6 BlueHDi 100 S & amp; S CVM, which cost € 22,007 and € 24,607, respectively.
it was not just the motor that was reinforced in this special series. Also the aesthetics took a breath of fresh air, looking more “trendy” than ever. In terms of colors, there is to have five shades of bodywork (Green Olive Brown, Black Obsidian, Red Aden, Gray Aluminum and White Perle Nacre), foreseeing the introduction of a new color (Blue Baltic) in the catalog, there more the end of the year.
As for “pads” that protect the body from unwanted restraints, Airbump calls, they are black as standard, but who wants to can opt for other colors (Dune, Chocolate and Grey).
but what distinguishes this series from your homies is not so much the palette of tones, but two little words – Rip Curl – who are a bit everywhere: in the rear pillars and front mudguard and even the carpet
If outside, this C4 Cactus pants each GoodYear Mud & amp.; Snow Special (205/50 R17 89V – Vector 4Seasons) and displays the body protection elements in aluminum gray, in addition to roof racks and rear shells of the blank, inside remains full style. Orange dominates the interior of the notes, in contrast to banks in Mica Grey fabric series, which can be substituted optionally by a mixed solution of fabric and leather in black.
