This vibrant and flamboyant concept is based on the CitroenC4 Cactus, a car we’re big fans of. TheCitroen Cactus M Concept will make its official debut at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show.
TheCitroen Cactus M Concept shares elements from the Cactus, the Aircross Concept as well as the classic Mehari from 1968. It features big tyres and wheel arches which give it increased body height and an SUV look. It’s meant to be an open-air vehicle and the aim is to bring passengers closer to their surroundings. It has two long doors which makes access easy. Or, you can gain entry like they do in the movies, by leaping over the doors.
The doors have the sameAirbumptech as theC4 Cactus which helps reduce damage from knocks, dents and scratches as well as salt water and sand. Beach sand isn’t the nicest of substances to find in a car, but theCitroen Cactus M Concept is designed with the beach and ocean in mind. There are holes in the foot wells so water can run out, while the seats are made fromwater and salt-resistant fabric. Citroen claims passengers can get into the Cactus M Concept fresh from a swim or surf without drying themselves off. When the cabin gets really dirty, it can be hosed out.
With a strong surfing theme, theCitroen Cactus M Concepthas provision to carry boards on the roof racks, while the interior has a distinct tropical colour schemeof Hawaii Blue. The cabin has a nautical theme to it and resembles a boat’s hull.
It’s super cool and we’d love to see a production model come along. Perfect vehicle for summer? We think so!
