MV Agusta and Citro&euml;n have <a href="http://mvagusta.com/_vti_g2_nwArt.aspx?rpstry=26_&amp;rfrsh=5372692&amp;idnews=738">teamed up</a> to produce a two-door hatchback show car called the C2 1587 Brutale. The naming scheme and the color pallete are clearly inspired by what is arguably Italy's hottest naked bike, the MV Agusta 1078 RR Brutale. We're not clear on what other tie-in exists between the two vehicles beyond that, though. Featuring a 1.6 liter 16-valve engine with 125 hp, the C2 1587 Brutale's power output is nowhere near as impressive as its two-wheeled inspiration. We do like <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/citroen-c2-1587-brutale/735797/">the interior</a>, which features plenty of black leather and alcantara with <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/citroen-c2-1587-brutale/735805/">red outlines</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/citroen-c2-1587-brutale/735807/">stitching</a>. Ultimately, we feel that this is one mash-up that the world probably could have done without.<br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/citroen-c2-1587-brutale">Citroen C2 1587 Brutale</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/citroen-c2-1587-brutale/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/04/1587_brutale_1_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/citroen-c2-1587-brutale/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/04/1587_brutale_10_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/citroen-c2-1587-brutale/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/04/1587_brutale_11_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/citroen-c2-1587-brutale/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/04/1587_brutale_12_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/citroen-c2-1587-brutale/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/04/1587_brutale_13_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br />[Source: <a href="http://mvagusta.com/_vti_g2_nwArt.aspx?rpstry=26_&amp;rfrsh=5372692&amp;idnews=738">MV Agusta</a>]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/05/mv-agusta-and-citroen-reveal-c2-1587-brutale/">MV Agusta and Citroen reveal C2 1587 Brutale</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Sat, 05 Apr 2008 18:02:00 EST.
