What the automaker says: "In 25 seconds the 307 CC can be transformed from a Coupé to a Cabriolet with a single press of a button. The electronically controlled electro-hydraulic system with multiplexing provides all the actuation of the folding roof mechanism, including the front locking, which does not require manual operation. The sophisticated mechanism of the 307 CC is thus endowed with functional and aesthetic qualities that are both persuasive and fascinating. Designed in accordance with exact guidelines, the system essentially comprises an electro-pump unit, a 'pivot tube', five cylinders, four multi-function linkages, and twelve switches which combine to operate the roof and the "boot/trunk" assembly at the same time as the rear screen, the latter detaching itself from the rear quarter panels and positioning itself in such a way that the boot volume is maximised."
What you should know: The 307 CC will go on sale in the summer. It is a four-seat cabrio with a retractable hardtop supplied CTS Car Top System GmbH. The new car has diode rear lights that are unique to this model.
