Citroën turns the spotlight on well-being
For the 2015 Rétromobile show, CITROËN is turning the spotlight on well-being. Well-being is a constant strength in all CITROËN cars regardless of the era and a dominant component in the brand’s DNA.
Throughout the Rétromobile show, visitors will be able to see how that DNA has been expressed over time, bringing to the customers a modern and appropriate solution to their expectations.
A number of emblematic, standard-setting CITROËN vehicles will be on show this year, including the C6 Torpedo, Traction Avant, 2CV, Méhari, GS and CX.
The brand will also be displaying the “Baby Brousse”, a model sold in Africa and very rarely seen in France.
The show will conclude with the C4 Cactus, modern-day proof that CITROËN continues to innovate and develop uniquely styled, comfortable, user-friendly and functional cars – cars in which people feel comfortable and relaxed.
More spacious than the AC4 and positioned in a higher segment, the CITROËN AC6 was the brand’s first vehicle to be powered by a 6 cylinders engine.
The C6 was available in 11 body styles, the most recognised being the emblematic convertible model, the Torpedo, a symbol of carefree motoring and at-the-wheel pleasure.
Presenting the CITROËN AC4 and AC6 at the 1928 Paris Motor Show, André Citroën’s ambition was to renew the brand’s ranges. He created a stir with the reveal of two new models aimed at attracting new customers and bringing the middle classes a reliable, comfortable and elegant vehicle, C perfect for everyday use.
Developed by engineer André Lefebvre and designer Flaminio Bertoni, the Traction Avant marked a true generational leap for CITROËN.
