Citroen’s C-Cactus concept car on show at Frankfurt signals the start of a programme to investigate simplifying the construction of its cars –stripping out unnecessary weight, complexity and emissions from its everyday hatchbacks and saloons. And it’s not as far flung as it looks. Its designers told CAR Online that this concept wasn’t about the external design, but rather the way the project was conceived and built. This is ‘an ideas car’. So forget the cutesy look of the C-Cactus and concentrate instead on the fact that it weighs an impressive 400kg less than a conventionally fuelled C4 upon whose underpinnings it rides.
