The former 300C was called 300C CRDi in diesel form, so they may use the same kind of badging for the new 300.
And it's too bad we don't have the SRT8 here in Europe, the 300C SRT8 Touring was such a beast !

I think it was this, a 1991 Golf 3. Don't remember it at all since a few months after I was born they traded for a bigger car, a 1992 Peugeot 405 TD (sold it to a friend of ours back in 2005 and it now has more than 400k km on the oddometer).

This pattern is quite common to build metallic structure since it strenghens the structure.

Don't forget that it's going to be driven by Sebastien Loeb !

They are going to run it in the Unlimited class, so I hope to see something awesome ahead.

Yes and you guys were lucky to have 2.2l 200hp engine, we only had the 180hp in France.

The wheels Citroën offers you on your DS5 or your DS4.

The first generation Focus RS, which was only available in this color. Gorgeous car. And just by looking at it you could swear it had more than 215 ponies under the hood. Only 4500 were produced.

The cruise-control stalk on Peugeot and Citroën are actually quite intuitive, they've been using the same ones for ten years now.

Austria has Magna Steyr.

Unfortunately not since the production is set to start around 2015. The factory still exists because they have the new Alpine-Caterham project, otherwise it would be closed and the Clio RS whould have been produced in Turkey.

And this where I work, though the Alpines are now Renaults but still :)

You'll have to wait for 12 more years for that to happen.

I'm currently doing an internship at a Renault's factory where they are currently building the new Clio RS. That's how my day goes :

I see this one everyday during my internship, I'll try to take a pictured before the end of it.

The pause and the meal are NOT included in the working hours.

It's 7 hours a day of actual work, not counting the pause and the meal.

It's pure racing from F1 to Le Mans and even some rallying (with a Viper).

Jean Graton is such a good writer, and the drawings in the books (BD, for Bande Dessiné, we call them here in France) are so cool too.

Oh yeah Mini JCW.
