Global Concepts (Part 1)
Citroen Pluriel
-
Citroen's Pluriel concept is described as a research prototype, but indications at the 1999 Frankfurt Motor Show were that it is a serious project and could point the way to a production car. It can become a convertible, open-top leisure vehicle, or a Spider pickup, according to Citroen. In fact it has introduced a new and unlikely bodyshell category, the "sedan convertible," a car with essentially a full-length sunroof (similar to the old 2CV and Dyane) that can fold back to the rear-window area. The roof can also be folded into a false floor in the trunk. In addition, its cant-rails can be removed and the rear seats folded into the floor to create what Citroen terms a Spider pickup. The Pluriel is fitted with Michelin PAX vertically anchored tires.
