Citroen C2-R2 2008 review.
If your inner rally driver lusts for something different than the run of the mill Subaru or Mitsubishi, there’s a tasty new Gallic morsel to spice things up. Citroen is taking their C2 to the FIA Junior World Rally Championship this year, and the C2-R2 Max Rally kit is their ticket to homologation. The kit keeps the price down, but doesn’t skimp on serious pieces.
If your inner rally driver lusts for something different than the run of the mill Subaru or Mitsubishi, there’s a tasty new Gallic morsel to spice things up. Citroen is taking their C2 to the FIA Junior World Rally Championship this year, and the C2-R2 Max Rally kit is their ticket to homologation. The kit keeps the price down, but doesn’t skimp on serious pieces. The 1.6-liter engine belts out 190 horsepower, and there’s larger brakes and a hydraulic steering rack to keep that power in check and make sure it’s properly directed. There’s also an adjustable rear suspension to help fend off competitors on the track. All of our puppy-dog enthusiasm is for naught; we can’t get this un-subtle killer hatch in the United States. C’est la vie.
