MOTORING NEWS - Citroën is exhibiting three headline-making concept cars at the International Automobile Festival as part of a concept car show held at the historic Invalides in Paris to emphasise the car maker's bold approach to style and technology.

The three concept cars that have made headlines in recent months are the Wild Rubis, the athletic racing C-Elysée WTTC and the Cactus concept which is described as a preview of the Citroën C4 being launched.

Wild Rubis previews the upcoming SUV in the DS line with recognisable styling, strong creativity and emotion and outstanding refinement. Citroën describes it as a jewel of a car.

The C-Elysée WTTC gives visitors a sneak peek at the racing car hoping to conquer racetracks around the world. Hugging the road on 18" wheels, the C-Elysée WTCC makes a strong visual impression. The bumper underlines the grille with its emphatic double chevron, while wide tracks front and rear give an extra boost to the car's uncompromising sporty looks. The C-Elysée WTCC is powered by a direct-injection 1,6 turbo, completely developed by Citroën Racing.

The third model is the Cactus concept car which is a preview of the Citroën C4 Cactus production model to be revealed during February. This concept car has nothing superfluous, but adds more value to the well-being of drivers and passengers.


Surely an eyefull - plus the C-Elysée WTCC is powered by a direct-injection 1,6 turbo engine completely developed by Citroën Racing.
