Citroen Lacoste Concept is an emblem for a state-of-mind and a lifestyle, it positioned at the crossroads of the automotive world, where fashion and sport meet.
Stylishly minimalist and elegantly laid-back, the Citro�n Lacoste instantly attracts with its off-beat sports aesthetic. It features a high waistline; bulging and textured wings; minimum overhangs front and rear; and golf ball-style alloy wheels, placed in the furthest corners of the body.
2010 Citroen Lacoste Concept opts for a 3-cylinder petrol engine with plenty of performance on tap to power a vehicle of this size and weight. With its light timbre, the flexible, economical and ecological powerplant is a perfect match for the car�s �back to essentials� nature.
Compact and robust (at 3.45m long, 1.80m wide, 1.52m high and with a 2.30m wheelbase), the body paint in pearlescent white, which is set off by dark blue design motifs and strips underlining the forms of the vehicle. Cabin access couldn�t be easier, since the doors have been replaced by broad cut-outs that are in perfect harmony with the body styling.
The compartments are discreetly located under the dashboard and within the two bench seats � with sliding covers that echo the colour of the upholstery. The seats themselves are overstitched in white cotton, with a weave closely resembling that of a polo shirt � an iconic Lacoste design.
Strictly speaking this car has no fixed roof. In its place is a T-shaped structure that extends back to the boot like a �backbone�. An auto-inflatable hood deploys all the way along the backbone to form a soft-top roof.
The front and rear lights are discreet to the point of being almost invisible. Concealed under the car�s dark blue bodywork, they can be seen only when illuminated. As well as providing visual purity, this design choice delivers a unique and almost magical sight.
