design & reality


On the left side a nice drawing, there is a sharp edge on the back side ...	... which is not there at the real car! In this case the Xsara Coupé 3-door

Xsara Xsara

the introduction of the

	The Xsara was introduced on the German Car Exhibition IAA '97 in Frankfurt september 1997. Claudia Schiffer (who is German) was hired to play in a promotional film for the Xsara. Perhaps Citroën asked her because both Claudia and the Xsara have plenty of well filled round forms!
more pictures of Claudia and the Xsara
	Inside the exhibition buildings this Xsara was present in a nice metallic red color

the models

Available are the Xsara 1.6i and 1.8i, both of which feature the familiar XU engines producing 90bhp and 103bhp respectively. Also a 1.4i Diesel is part of Citroën's engine range, and the output is 75bhp.

Xsara kitcar this is the fastest version, meant for racing/rallying, starting in the 1998 season, but no more rally-raids!
	... and the kitcar was shown on the Paris Motor Show from 1-11 October 1998.

The Xsara Picasso in real, in Paris also... ...what color shall we order? Well, we've got a year to think about and save money!

the in Japan

	Next to a red Xsara a Japanese girl in a short skirt and a red jacket, what is tempting you most, the car or the girl...
... the choice can be made more difficult if you see al those nice girls, but there are more Xsara's too! All on the Citroën stand on the 32nd Tokyo Motor Show 1997.
	What type the red Xsara is you cannot see on the pictures, but this "golden" car is the Xsara Coupé 3-doors

logo's

In the best tradition of the last years Citroën had also a letter-logo designed for the Xsara.
	The letters are made now 3 dimensional and looks like they are already glued on the car. But the colors don't match yet.
Some designers think that they can do it better, and in some countries no dots on the "E" are possible...
