The Citroën 2CV is deservedly considered a legend in the global automotive industry, which was produced from 1948 to 1990. It was jokingly referred to as an umbrella on wheels for its drop-down roof and overall fun design. Nevertheless, the total circulation of the model was not at all comic - more than 3.8 million cars were produced in various modifications.
Designer Jean-Louis Bui was among those who were fascinated by this compact model and offered his interpretation of the car for modern conditions.
This daring mini car has been dubbed the Citroën La 2 Deuche Concept. Retro DNA is visible in the shape of the wheel arches, round headlights and the accordion-like retractable roof that turns it into a convertible. According to Jean, he drew inspiration from the simple lines and silhouette, especially the Charleston version of the original Citroën 2CV.
The rest has more modern profiles - especially on the side and back. At the same time, the Tesla Model 3-style matrix taillights and door handles give the concept a touch of futurism.
The author of the work emphasized that his concept embodies "the coat of arms of France, as well as the Eiffel Tower, a baguette or a croissant." With its styling and vibrant body color palette, it should be a playful car, just like the Citroën 2CV in its glory days.
