Concorde generations, and what changed
These boundaries are not copied from a brochure — they fall out of the measurements. Where the Concorde's length or wheelbase jumps between consecutive model years the platform changed: a facelift moves a bumper by centimetres, a new generation moves the whole car — for the Concorde that gives 2 distinct generations below.
| Generation | Length | Wheelbase | Weight | vs previous | Weight change |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1993-1997 | 512 cm | 287 cm | 1474 kg | - | - |
| 1998-2004 | 531 cm | 287 cm | 1553 kg | +19 cm | +79 kg |
Between 1993 and 2004 the Concorde gained 19 cm in length (+3.7%) and 79 kg in weight (+5.4%). Cars did not so much grow as thicken — crash structures, airbags and equipment weigh more than the metal they replaced, and on the Concorde that is 79 kg against 19 cm. Full dimensions by year →
