Citroen 2CV is back
It's official – Citroen will reveal an all-new concept at next week's Frankfurt Motor Show and, judging by this first official picture the 2CV is back!
With its raked bonnet and snail-like profile it bears a striking resemblance to the iconic 2CV, which was produced by Citroen for 42 years and discontinued in 1990.
However, while the 2CV was designed to be cheap and cheerful, the newcomer will feature lots of hi-tech kit as standard, including sat-nav and connectivity for the latest handheld gadgets. It remains to be seen if the concept will feature some of the quirky designs of the original car such as a centrally mounted gear lever.
But we'll have to wait until its Frankfurt unveil next week for any official details on the striking new concept.
