Citroen has everyone’s attention with this awesome-looking Cactus M Concept. Is this the coolest car for summer?
This vibrant and flamboyant concept is based on the Citroen C4 Cactus, a car we’re big fans of. The Citroen Cactus M Concept will make its official debut at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show.
Citroen Cactus M Concept
The Citroen 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 same Airbump tech as the C4 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 the Citroen 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 from water 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, the Citroen Cactus M Concept has provision to carry boards on the roof racks, while the interior has a distinct tropical colour scheme of 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!
