The elegance, power and emotion synonymous with the 3coeur7 concept car have been incorporated in their entirety in the new 307 CC.
Drawing on the legacy of the 307 family, the 307 CC exhibits not only a new-style of architecture but – essential for this type of vehicle – the results of extensive research into safety, functionality and comfort. It also lays claim, in the interior, to an exclusive, dynamic personality which, on certain models, particularly with leather, propels it into the universe of luxury cars with a sporty ambience.

Two shapes evocative of liberty, rivalling each other in elegance…
The Coupé – powerful and boasting a long pedigree.

The thrusting front extends up to the remarkably sloping windscreen which is flanked by the windscreen pillars. From this point the pronounced arch shape spreads out to the tapered rear quarter panels, leading the eye to a rear screen which not only crowns the rear of the vehicle but curves gracefully. Finally the powerful, capacious boot, with a dynamic appearance owing much to its strong lines, imparts balance to the whole vehicle. The diagonal diode lights bring a unifying aspect to the rear.

The Cabriolet – pure emotion

When the roof retracts, taking with it the rear screen and the rear quarter
panels, the Cabriolet stretches out, revealing the sensual allure of its shapely interior with ample accommodation for all four occupants. This opulent passenger compartment combines a distinct feeling of strength and protection.

Magic ! … … switching from one version to the other 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 multifunction 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.

The system can detect a hand behind the handle before it has even grasped it to open the door. This ingenious process causes the window to drop a few millimetres before opening so that it separates from the seal joint. This "short drop" phenomenon is managed by a capacitor sensor which is housed in the door handles.

…the centralised "disappearance" of all four windows This system allows even faster transformation into a Cabriolet . A single press on a button located on the centre console and as if by magic – all four windows lower simultaneously by the sequential system. Each of the four occupants, however, is able to operate their window independently.

A long press on the HF remote control "unlocking" button and the boot is
partially opened by remote control; all that is required is to lift the cover
to access the boot. Manual opening is facilitated by pressing the central
"0" of the 307 badge … a feature borrowed from the 607. An absolute masterpiece, both architecturally and stylistically The challenge was to offer, within moderate overall dimensions, a real four-seater Coupé which could be transformed into an authentic Cabriolet, an optimum level of safety and with the designs always pleasing to the eye and exuding harmony, whatever the configuration.

The whole of the front cabin, as well as the driver’s position has been reworked. In fact, from the beginning of the project, the plan was to accommodate low seats (- 40 mm) to provide a driving position conforming to that which is usually encountered on a sporty Cabriolet or Coupé.

Hence the passenger compartment has been maximised for two reasons: to accommodate up to four occupants and at the same time to be able to specify roof dimensions compatible with folding down the panels which constitute the roof and fitting them into the boot. In addition, the rear part of the passenger compartment has, among other things, been modified to provide the installation of mechanical roof brackets in a robust housing.

Two sixteen-valve 2.0 l engines will be fitted to the 307 CC :
- the sixteen-valve 2.0 l engine - 100 kW – 190 Nm with a five speed manual gearbox or a sequentially controlled "Porsche Tiptronic system" - sixteen valve 130 kW – 202 Nm 2.0 l engine coupled to a 5- speed manual box

As on all 307 vehicles, high performance suspension is in place, as well
as modulated power steering and light alloy wheels fitted with 16" or 17"
tyres. Complemented by the lower body and the rigid structure, the whole 307 CC suspension conveys, without a hint of ostentation, an authentic dynamic energy, indispensable in a "pleasure" vehicle.
What a pleasure to be in this vehicle!

The 307 CC is equipped for both engines (100 and 130 kW ) with a type BE4 5-speed manual gearbox, with transmission lengths which have been selected in terms of the performance of each engine and its individual character. They are fitted with a hydraulically controlled 230 mm diameter clutch disc. A 4-speed automatic gearbox of the AL4 auto adaptive type with a « Porsche Tiptronic System » is also available on the 100 kW version.
