The length of the Citroen 19_19 is 4655 millimeters. When creating the car's exterior, designers drew inspiration from the Citroen RE-2 helicopter, which was developed in the 1970s but never went into production. The special capsule body provides a "unique" view for the driver and passengers. The special dark blue color Rosalie Blue is a tribute to the Petite Rosalie racing car of the 1930s.
The new model features the Progressive Hydraulic Cushions suspension, familiar from the C5 Aircross crossover. It additionally uses two hydraulic stops in the shock absorbers — a rebound stop and a compression stop. As the company notes, thanks to the new technology, driving creates a feeling of "flying on a magic carpet."
Specifically for the electric car, the French, together with Goodyear, developed special tires where the tire and wheel form a single unit, which additionally creates a feeling of hovering above the ground.
The electric vehicle received an autonomous driving system, which includes two optical LiDAR rangefinders on the roof, as well as rear-view cameras replacing traditional external mirrors. In addition, special sensors are built into the wheels, which transmit data about road conditions to the "smart" suspension.
When moving in automatic mode, the car's windows turn into projection displays on which various information is broadcast.
The Citroen 19_19 is powered by two electric motors that together produce 462 hp and 800 N·m of torque. The electric car can accelerate from standstill to 100 km/h in five seconds, and its top speed is 200 km/h. The range without recharging exceeds 800 kilometers.
