C3 Profil R - 2003

E

spera students designed the Profil-R from a damaged C3. After repairing the car, they assembled a complete body kit.

Classic body kit on a base not often used in tuning, the Citroën C3.

Classic tuning...

The rear features a full bumper with large exhaust and air extractors behind the wheels. The AS Design lights are of the crystal type, very fashionable at the time. A spoiler above the tailgate incorporates the third brake light.

The front features a wide-opening bumper, with two blades extending the rocker panels.

The body kit increases the car's width by three centimeters, giving the C3 a more aggressive stance. The interior and engine (1600 cm3) remain unchanged.
Color aside, the C3 Profil-R remains rather sober.

... typical of the 2000s

Simple, classic tuning for this little Citroën, which has been forgotten today. But Sbarro and his students didn't stop there, as the following year they tackled the convertible version of the C3, the Pluriel, grafting a V6 engine onto it.
