Leaving the weird overall look aside, the car comes with special parts here and there, some of them brought or inspired from Lacoste's products. For instance, it features golf ball-style alloy wheels plus several parts that resemble sections of a tennis net on certain sides of the body.
There's no roof whatsoever, as Citroen designed a T-shaped structure that continues all the way back to the boot and has multiple purposes, including protecting the passengers using the auto-inflatable hood function, thus forming a soft-top roof.
Furthermore, the dashboard is being used as both a traditional dash and an integrated display, showing vital information such as speed and directional messages in the form of oversized pixel, reminding, as Citroen says, of the very first video games.
Power is provided by a three-cylinder petrol engine, but output is not known for the time being. However, Citroen says that it provides "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."
