Features and Appeal
Like its smaller sibling, the C2 by Loeb, the C4 by Loeb edition typically featured unique styling cues that set it apart from standard models. These often included:
- Distinctive paint schemes: Often in bold colours associated with motorsport or specific team liveries.
- Sporty interior enhancements: Such as special upholstery, unique trim materials, and branded detailing on seats, dashboards, or floor mats.
- Exterior styling: Exclusive alloy wheel designs, unique badging featuring the "by Loeb" signature, and sometimes subtle body kit enhancements.
While the core mechanicals, such as the engine specifications, might align with existing performance models (e.g., the C2 by Loeb shared its 1.6 petrol engine with the C2 VTS), the primary appeal of the "by Loeb" editions stemmed from their exclusive nature and strong association with a rallying legend. This marketing strategy effectively leveraged Sébastien Loeb's global fame and success to attract buyers looking for a more exclusive and performance-oriented version of the standard vehicle.
