Citroen Lacoste Concept Car - Front
Doing their best to capture as many column inches as possible, Citroen have not been backward in coming forward with their concepts for this years Paris Motor Show.
This time we have the The Citroen Lacoste concept car complete with bench seats, a funky design and somewhat oddly, an inflatable canopy. We don’t know if that means it can double as a lifeboat but our guess is probably not. Coming in at just under 3.5m in length, this is one seriously compact car placing it somewhere between the inconceivably short Smart Car and the super mini champion, the Ford Fiesta.
Fans of rain will be delighted as the car has no roof to speak of, allowing both the driver and passengers full opportunity to revel in downpours as and when the chance arises. Should you instead wish to remain dry on such occasions you can inflate the canopy from the t-bar to keep you all cosy, how lovely.
Obviously no doors either, meaning when carrying Grandma to the store it is essential to remember to belt her in, or you may well arrive at your destination without her. In a novel twist on the traditional instrument panel this car doesn’t have one. Instead it has a whole car width screen on the dashboard that keeps you up to date on things like speed, fuel levels and whether you have lost any passengers, in a cool 1980′s style block pixel effect, very retro.
A nice concept example, with many features that wont ever see the light of day on a production car, nevertheless all these concepts are keeping somebody at Citroen employed, and that, if not the concepts themselves, has to be good.
