Citroen looks to future.


CITROEN will be bringing its latest concept cars to next month's British motor show, which although wild and wacky will contain future styling cues.

The C-Buggy (above) and C-AirPlay (below) will be shown alongside the new C6, which the company hopes will herald its return to the halcyon days of its executive DS successes.

The C-Buggy 4WD concept has a striking bright yellow interior but no roof, windscreen or windows.

There is a 155bhp engine and Citroen says the model is a radical take on an adventurous two-seater of the future with wide wheel arches, 17-inch wheels and cut-outs in the body sides.

The C-AirPlay concept is the creation of British designer Mark Lloyd and is meant to be a futuristic urban supermini A large-scale minicomputer. Note: Supermini is not the same as mini-supercomputer. , featuring iridescent ir·i·des·cent
