Citroën Survolt

The Citroën Survolt (later known as the DS Survolt) is a concept electric racing car produced by Citroën and presented at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show.

The Survolt is a full-sized racing car based on the earlier electric concept car Citroën Revolte presented at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. Because the car runs on batteries, it is classed as a zero-emissions vehicle.

The Survolt is 3.85 meters (12.6 feet) long, 1.87 meters (6.1 feet) wide and 1.20 meters (3.9 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.

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).

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.
