By the looks of it, you’d expect the Citroen C1 & Me to come with a multifunctional Swiss army knife and a glovebox stuffed with fine chocolate, but no. The concept car only tries to enhance the idea of further customizing the new C1, and since it debuted in Geneva, Switzerland, the designers decided to fit it with the national flag theme.
Like the crazy-designed Toyota Aygo and Peugeot 108, the new Citroen C1 is a city car that was made to put a smile onto the driver’s face. Apart from a nippy engine and maneuverability, this can also be achieved using custom designs and the possibility to order your model with funky two-tone colored body and interior trimmings.
However, the C1 Swiss & Me Concept wants to take this a bit further by coming with flared fenders, bigger alloy rims, side sills and a new exhaust relocated right in the middle of the rear bumper, reminding of a Peugeot 208 GTI, while the body got a pearl white/red two-tone color and the Swiss flag splashed on top.
Performance is slightly enhanced by wing extensions and a fixed side member. Engine mods are no where to be found, but the new C1 comes with an engine choice of two latest-generation gasoline engines: the e-VTi 68 Airdream and the new VTi 82 from the PureTech engine family, making 82 hp and 118 Nm of torque - definitely the one to have.
