Citroën Prototype C

The Citroën Prototype C was a range of prototype vehicles created by Citroën from 1955 to 1956 under the direction of André Lefèbvre.

[1] The idea was to produce a water-drop-shaped, very lightweight vehicle that would be more modern and smaller than the 2CV.

[2] The overall look of the vehicle was quite similar to the Messerschmitt bubble car.

The vehicle was nicknamed the Citroën Coccinelle (French for ladybug).
