Citroën has assembled 50 vehicles from its history and given them 360° views of exterior and interior, starting sounds, blinker sounds, and even klaxon sounds! Bizarrely, the DS and SM are nowhere to be found, but they may be on the way.

If you are ready to see an hour or hours of your existence disappear into lovely French smoke go to the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

The level of detail here is amazing, I think I'll be lost here all day.

Apparently the C6 has a “frontal” transmission, an the Xsara WRC has electric windows.

I hate you. I was gonna do Calc homework, but noooooo, you just had to bring this to my attention. At least it’s still only 11 here in California so I have the remains of the afternoon to fulfill my obligations but anyways, damn, that’s an awesome website!

If you are ok with French, you can read it in its original at http://www.citroenorigins.fr/fr/ . Then the technical specifications make more sense.

They even have a sound for the Xsara WRC electric windows. Maybe Daniel Elena could not be bothered to wind them down at the end of each stage? It certainly does not seem like the window is manual at the end of this video:

I really love that “transmission” in French becomes “speed box.”

A Citroen C6 revving to redline is not something I ever want to hear again.

I think you meant to say “box of speeds” which sounds even more awesome. All the speeds!

Yeah, startups are good enough. A 2.0-some litre diesel revving to redline doesn’t exactly sound amazing unless maybe (maybe) it’s a Honda DTEC or Volvo I5.
