Born from the collaboration between Citroen and Rip Curl, the new Citroen C4 Cactus Rip Curl is a special edition crossover designed to shake up the sector. More technologically advanced, with a higher level of all-road performance, the C4 Cactus Rip Curl's major innovation is enhanced traction.

It comes equipped with the Grip Control system, providing the benefit of intelligent traction in 'off-road' mode. It uses an advanced anti-skid function built into the ESP computer, which manages the traction from the driven front wheels, and has various other modes for different types of terrain. The new Citroen C4 Cactus Rip Curl's increased traction promises a unique driving experience for both drivers and passengers alike, irrespective of the season or destination.

Exclusive attributes, both inside and out, feature a blend of geometric patterns and the Rip Curl logo. The model also features front and rear aluminium-coloured protection plates that reinforce its 'adventurer' identity. The functional and stylish Airbump technology enhances the personality of the C4 Cactus and protects its bodywork. Five body colours will be available at launch, with a new and unique blue body colour set to be available by the end of the year to enhance the model's special edition status. 

The C4 Cactus Rip Curl's cabin features dynamic, energising orange detailing. The orange safety belts contrast with the interior finish of the Mica Grey fabric seats. The same colour schemes appear elsewhere in the cabin. The protective floor mats feature orange stitching and a label bearing the surfing brand's logo. 

Standard equipment includes rear parking sensors and camera, automatic climate control, automatic headlamps and front wipers, navigation system, six-speaker MP3 audio system, cruise control/speed limiter and tinted windows. For occupants to remain at one with nature, the special edition model is fitted as standard with a panoramic glass roof, complete with thermal protection.

The Citroen C4 Cactus Rip Curl will make its world debut at the Geneva International Motor Show.
