Citroen 2CV concept leaked
10 September 2009
The first official pictures of the 2CV-inspired Citroen DS Revolte concept have been leaked ahead of its Frankfurt debut next week.
And we’re not too sure if the hippies are going to like it – it’s much more Shore-ditch than Swamp-y. It is unfeasibly cool.
From the ‘suicide’ style rear-opening doors and huge alloy wheels to the space age interior, it’s a far cry from the 2CV of the past which was designed for the French working class, not Hoxton-based web designers.
This is down to the DS name being a premium badge Citroen is re-launching with the DS3 – another Frankfurt debut for the French carmaker.
One thing the Revolte concept does retain from its ancestor is the foldable canvas roof – similar to another comeback star, the Fiat 500C.
It’s still a concept but we’re hoping some form of the Revolte will see production in the future – possibly as a replacement for the Citroen C2.
Come back on Tuesday to find out the official details on the Revolte along with our pictures from Frankfurt.
