Citroen C2 in rally-raid?

[lev_p]

the C4 WRC project is cancelled and changed into a rally-raid project

Considering the above, which was said in Subaru WRC thread, and considering the C2 V6 version by Sbarro shown in Geneva, could it be that Citroen will be back in rally raids with C2 and not C4?


Yes, I'm aware that C2 is a tiny car, and also that C4 is the one that needs more sales push, but still - the car is half-ready.
Your opinions, gentlemen.

I agree 100% with Dani; i mean, the wheelbase required for a rallyraid should be at least the same as the C4s in order to make the car softer and therefore let the car jump through the irregular slopes of the desert and no problem; in addition, the car should have this wheelbase in order to manage the usual and every single fast bend that any desert race has; in the contrary, with the C3 wheelbase, the car will roll in any moment when managing any jump. We have to remember the problem that pug had during the 1987 with the 205 Turbo 16 Rally Raid; although the car was lengthened by adding some extra petrol tanks, the car used to be very nervous the pug launched a 405 Turbo 16 in the following year in order to solve that problem, and therefore the PSA group used to use the 405 and the Citroen ZX Rally Raid respectively
