Unique Attributes[]

The Survolt is 3.85 meters (12.63 feet) long, 1.87 meters (6.14 feet) wide and 1.20 meters (3.94 feet) high and features a design with the front dominated by the vehicle's badge located above the large oval-shaped grille.

The car has horizontal LED headlamps which have lower power consumption than traditional filament bulbs — important in a battery-operated vehicle.

At the back, the Survolt maintains the light cluster design used on the REVOLTe, and has a spoiler to increase rear downforce.

An Art Car based on the Survolt has been designed with the collaboration of Françoise Nielly in 2011.

Engine[]

The Survolt is powered by a pair of electric motors with a combined power output of 300 bhp (220 kW). Its top speed is 260 km/h (162 mph), and it can accelerate from 0–100 km/h (62 mph) in less than 5 seconds. Citroën claims that the batteries provide a range of 200 km (124 mi).

Criticisms[]

As A Road Car, It's Exceptionally Hard To Climb In And Out Of.

Motorsports[]

The DS Survolt made its first appearance on a racetrack at Le Mans on 12 July 2010. Vanina Ickx was the first driver to get behind the wheel of the Survolt.

Although it has not been confirmed that the Survolt will ever be produced, there are rumors that Citroën wants to create a limited-production of a compact-sized concept based on this car, and start a one-make racing series.

Appearence In Games[]

The DS Survolt makes an appearance in Asphalt 6: Adrenaline (as the Citroën Survolt), Asphalt 8: Airborne and GT Racing 2: The Real Car Experience, all of which are mobile racing games by Gameloft. It's also available on Driveclub for PlayStation 4 as a free downloadable content.

The British automobile test-driving show Top Gear has driven the car around their famous test track and has given it high marks except for the fact that it is exceptionally hard to climb in and out of.

This article or section contains information about a concept automobile.

It is likely to contain information of a speculative nature, but such speculation is usually sourced from the automotive news media, the automaker's media press releases, or other news sources. Concept cars, or similar evolutionary vehicles based on them, may never see production. The content and specifications for those selected for continuation may change significantly as the concept evolves, or as production nears if it is launched, and as more information becomes available. Concept automobiles, and their derivatives if any, are subject to delays or cancellation by the automaker.
