In-Game Description[]
This description is taken from the PAL version of Gran Turismo 2:
When it was launched back in 1997, the 3.0 V6 Xantia Exclusive became the most powerful car in the Xantia line-up. Thanks to its 2946cc engine, the V6 can muster 194BHP at 5,500rpm and a whopping 197 lb/ft of torque at just 4,000rpm. That's enough to give it a 0-60mph time of 8.3 seconds, as well as a 140mph top speed. One of the most technologically advanced features of the Xantia is its Auto Adaptive gearbox which adapts to each driver's style. It also takes into account vehicle loading, engine information and even the current road characteristics before deciding which of a series of 12 shift patterns to use. The driver can then customise things further by manually switching the box to either Normal, Sport, or Snow settings. That's not the only trick to the clever auto however. Unlike other less intelligent boxes, it can also simulate manual driving characteristics and can provide engine braking on overrun and down changes when braking, to ensure the car is always in the right gear. Similarly, it will avoid making unwanted upshifts when the accelerator pedal is lifted - particularly good for cross-country blasts. As with all Xantias, the V6 Exclusive has an unconventional Hydractive computer controlled suspension set up that combines MacPherson struts up front and trailing arms at the rear with Citroen's gas cushioned spheres replacing more conventional shock absorbers. Externally the Xantia Exclusive can be distinguished by its unique 6Jx15 alloy wheels shod with 205/60 R15 tyres, deep chin spoiler with larger air intake, twin exhaust tail pipes and subtle V6 badging. Larger 283mm discs (front) and 224mm discs (rear) are also fitted to the V6 so it can cope with the extra power.

Trivia[]
- In Gran Turismo 2, the car is incorrectly equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission, since it's not available on the 3.0 V6 Exclusive trim. It was later fixed for Gran Turismo 4 onwards, which now uses the 4-speed automatic.
