Citroën Xanthia Concept, 1986. A speedster prototype based on the Citroen AX
AX speedster Another what-if. Citroën could have cleaned up if they put this into production.

What a difference 64 years makes contrasting views of Citroën Traction Avant 15 Six D Familiale, 1954 and Citroën Grand C4 SpaceTourer, 2018. The Familiale version of the Traction Avant featured an extended wheelbase seating up to 9 in 3 rows with a folding centre row, the Grand C4 has a longer wheelbase than regular C4 and seats 7 in a 2/3/2 configuration
Progress? Back then, people were trying to make cars low and more efficient. Now, we’re trying to make cars tall, with big frontal areas for poorer aerodynamics and fuel economy.

Citroën C4 Coupé by Loeb, 2009. A special edition of the first generation C4 that honoured Sebastian Loeb’s achievements in world rallying and Citröen’s return to the WRC championship. There was no coupé version of the second generation C4 though the DS3 effectively replaced it
C4 A very limited edition, and I know of one in Wellington. But only one.

DS3 Crossback, 2019. Images of the new compact crossover have leaked ahead of the car’s official reveal, the range with include an all-electric DS3 Crossback E-Tense (silver car)
DS 3 up Citroën and DS’s product assault has really continued apace. I’m glad they’ve got round to a second-generation DS 3, and not that surprised it’s a crossover as well, given global (especially Chinese) demand. I don’t love these Citroëns in the way I did the SM, CX, GS or AX, but happy they are in decent health under CEO Linda Jackson.

In July.
Döschwo Reblogged for the early six-light 2CV.
Friends Every now and then I see two of the same vehicle on the home page in Autocade. The odds of this happening are less than 1 in 12,250,000.
Seventy years on You can now turn your Citroën Relay into an H-5 homage, thanks to David Obendorfer and Fabrizio Caselani.

Citroën SM Espace, 1971, by Heuliez. A T-roof version of the SM with electrically operated slates, two prototypes were built but the car was never offered commercially, the car shown above was destroyed but a second blue version was retained and was auctioned when Heuliez’s assets were sold in 2012, for £90,994
The other Espace How to make an SM cooler, in that 1970s way.

Citroën DS Rally cars. The DS was successful in rallying winning the Monte Carlo Rally in 1959 and the 1000 Lakes Rally in 1962. The DS won the Monte Carlo Rally again in 1965, with some controversy as the BMC Mini-Cooper team was disqualified due to rule infractions. The DS remained competitive, winning the gruelling 1974 London-Sahara-Munich World Cup Rally, where it won over 70 other cars only 5 of which completed the entire event
Racing goddesses The last coupé looks great, as did the DS FA Group 2. Question: how does the bloke with the records come into it?
Adding wheels to a car-like shape definitely ruins that design’s purity, so artist Sylvain Viau decided to ditch wheels and render cars to look like they’re levitating of the ground. Not a new idea, obviously, but this time it focuses on cars from the 1980s or newer.
Citroëns look good as hover cars. Just like in Back to the Future Part II (cc for laquisharedfern).

Volvo Tundra Concept
Tundra Shame Volvo never went with this 343-based hatchback concept by Bertone from 1979. I liked it at the time, especially the asymmetric Volvo grille. It doesn’t take a genius to work out that the ideas informed the Citroën BX.

Citroen M25, 1969. An experimental coupe with a single rotor Wankel engine based on the Citroen Ami 8 and built by Heuliez, 267 cars were produced
Rare friends Reminds me the Amis need to be on Autocade (as do the DSs).
