This car has faster top speed in the moose test than a McLaren 675 LT.

The more you know...

Probably not stock
We have the 4 cylinder versions here

The V6 probably won't do the exact same speed around the moose test (20 years old after all). km77 did a video on this, and it handled like a VW Arteon or a Mercedes CLS, which is, considering the age, still very impressive. 73km/h I believe

the one that holds the record in the Swedish moose test is a V6.
The cars km77 tested weren't in the greatest condition judging by some of the shots they made, in one of the shots you can see that a dust boot of the suspension is split, in another you can see one of the active suspension cylinders is wet, and in others you can see that they don't have the original spheres anymore, which in itself is logical, since those degrade over the years and loose their Gas, but it is possible that different ones were fitted that aren't up to spec, all of this makes it a lot more impressive than it already is.

You\'re right, Citroen specified it as 140kW. But mine had 156kW as stock, and currently has 162kW (220hp). I was just reporting my Nordschleife BTG time, and thus put in numbers from my car. Sorry about the confusion.

Korrect, 190 hp is correct. But still, it\'s enough. I was racing this very evening on Mittsverigebanan in Sweden : Many participants had great problems with my car ;-)

There was no Xantia with 220 hp. The strongest Xantia had 190 PS.
