607 Pescarollo

Hope they will do it ! 400hp, it's not slow

[Jimster]

HOPEFULLY it's RWD

The 607 Pescarolo has a V6 400 hp.

Look there for further infos (if you understand french !)

"Ainsi parée, cette 607 Pescarolo élégamment bâtie pourrait recevoir la motorisation 6 cylindres d’origine mais suffisamment retravaillée, tout comme le V6 utilisé sur la C60 Pescarolo sport aux Vingt-Quatre Heures du Mans, pour fournir une puissance maximale supérieure à 300 kW, soit plus de 400 ch. Il conviendrait alors de choisir une
boîte de vitesses automatique, à commande séquentielle, et le freinage serait assuré par quatre disques ventilés d’un diamètre de 345 mm avec des étriers à quatre pistons."

It's a FWD. But it handles very well. I drove the 406 Coupé for two days and you can't leave the road... untill a certain point ! but I never drove a car which handles as well. You have a 406, you know what pleasure it is ! it's the same plateform, and there are not many modifications btw the Coupé and the Sedan.

Alas Peugeot won't do this 607. They'll do a V6 HDI and a more powerfull V6 for the restyling (in 2005) but not more than 250hp... what a pity, french makers are never forward enough. On the little cars they are but that's all : Clio V6 with 270 hp !

[Jimster]

Well if they launch it in 2005 then I'll get one upon my return to NZ (Hopefully it'll go into RHD production)

[Stefanel1]

There's no market... The Alpine were well sold. But they didn't make enough profit.
VW does sale a Phaeton,why not Pug for example ?...

[Stefanel1]

The Citroën C6 will be placed between the E and S Class (category)... why not a Peugeot 907 indeed !
(the Evasion has been replaced by the C8)

[Swoxy]

Do you have any pictures?

here it is :

[Swoxy]

Nice!

[Stefanel1]

Citroën is come back, finally ! The C3, C4, Pluriel and C6 are real Citroën, what do you think ?

[Stefanel1]

Indeed. The C3 and Picasso are the first witness of this come back. But the C5 is not the best Citroën ! It's not a bad car but the design is "bad".

[Swoxy]

You mean the way it looks? I don't think so, it's not as good looking as the 406 or Laguna, but not that bad.

[Stefanel1]

It's too classic. I prefer a 406 or a 607 or a Vel Satis or a Passat or whatever but the C5 is too classic to me...
My Godfather has one (2.2 HDI Exclusive) it's still a very good car.
