CITROEN HAS A NEW concept lined up for debut at next week’s Frankfurt Motor Show. If this shadowy image revealed today by the French carmaker is anything to go by, it could be a reincarnation of the classic 2CV.
The new image follows a grainy image of a concept cloaked in darkness, revealed on Citroen’s official Facebook page this week.
Its lines appear to be some sort of homage to the curved bonnet and enlarged wheel arches of the original 2CV (which was retired from production in 1990). If so, this news may have nostalgic Citroen enthusiasts rejoicing.
Citroen remains tight-lipped about exactly what will be revealed and whether that grainy image is merely a decoy.
Where the original 2CV was developed to be a simple and affordable buggy, a new model - as emphasised by the large wheels and powerful wheel arches of the concept above - would likely come with more power, more gadgets, and a price tag to match.
Either way, the Citroen stand at Frankfurt should prove to be an appealing affair, with both the 2010 Citroen DS3 and 2010 Citroen C3 scheduled to appear.
