Citroën Cactus Concept



As car has no side windows, no rear, a continuous bench seat forward and is faintly eminiscent of the Mehari. This was in response to the in the sixties France VW Buggy, the legendary beach-swing with duck technique that supposedly envisioned the designers when they recorded the "Cactus". As simple and casual as the ILO study should look like future serial Citroën. "A manifesto of simplicity," said Jean-Pierre Ploué, chief designer of the PSA Group.

Actually owns the Citroën Cactus the spirit of a hammock, so relaxed he is. Instead there are simple strikes lever, the rear roof pillar is no more than a hint of metal. And the seats wear a mix of cognac leather and natural gray wool. All gadgets that will surely not be included in the series, but the basic shape could already be in the summer of 2014 at dealers: a 4.21 meter long four-door with a raised roof.




Because one has deeply relaxed since the sixties, when it lightly into the open beach mobile jumped in, guarantees modified: Today Feel-cars must be higher, so that one goes bad back, because with the late hippies their discs are aged. But today, the monitor so-crazy? Cactus wait the two plate-sized displays, which have the advantage that they make a flood of redundant switches - so the new simplicity looks in the cockpit. On the other hand, one wonders what ever is still working at Cactus when the monitors turn times.

Since we are the bleating: The flat roof of the study allows little space above the head, however, the production car is safely practical. How it would look, the roof rails suggests sent. As a motor, so the story Jean-Pierre Ploué, is the new hybrid Air by PSA installed. The stores energy from the gasoline engine in a compressed air tank and to allow consumption of 3.0 liters per 100 kilometers - a cost-effective approach to follow the French so far exclusive.




It is already clear, however, that the Cactus uses the same platform as the Peugeot 2008. During this four-seater clearly belongs to the new wave SUV, the Cactus plays more of the crossover - these are cars that fit formally into any category. But the Mehari has even started.
