Citroen concept hints at next C1

Citroen has hinted at how the replacement for the C1 might look in a concept to be revealed at the Paris Motor Show.The car, produced in conjunction with fashion label Lacoste, has no windows or doors, but does feature a disappearing windscreen and an inflatable roof that can be deployed in seconds should the weather turn.

Citroen says the car is 'stylishly minimalist and elegantly laid-back', and its compact dimensions are very close to the entry-level C1 city car. The hints continue, with Citroen also saying that the Lacoste points the way to the car of the future and that compact cars shouldn't have to lack character.

Citroën preparing hot hybrid DS4 Racing model

Get ready to figure out what would be the make of the new Citroën DS4. Various reports indicate that the French automaker is preparing a performance version of the premium hatchback/crossover/whats-it in the same vein as the DS3 Racing which will be taller with a few more doors.

Presumed to be called the DS4 Racing, this vehicle is slated to debut in Paris later this month, will ostensibly target the hot models already on the market, like the Volkswagen Golf GTI and Renaultsport Megane 250.

Performance-oriented trim inside and out – from the two-tone aero kit and upsized wheels to the racing buckets and flat-bottomed steering wheel – will give the DS4 Racing an aggressive attitude, but the real party trick will be sitting under the hood.
