Revolte Concept

It was definitely un-chic for an maker to show up at this year's Frankfurt Motor Show without either a plug-in hybrid or small municipality automobile concept to display. In Citroen's case, it combined both vehicles into one. Recalling the lines of the classic Citroen 2CV model but with a distinctively modern touch, the Revolte concept was designed as a small, easily maneuverable municipality automobile that features a plug-in hybrid drivetrain.

Combining both form and function, the Revolte is a four-door, three-seat container with rear-hinged \"suicide\" doors for easy access to the rear seat. The rear centre itself is a sofa-like bench, which in constituent to providing a contact of contemporary luxury, also houses the vehicle's batteries to tap space. Interior materials include aluminum, crimson velvet, and woven black leather.

Though the Revolte is small, it's not lacking in flamboyant tech goodies. The infotainment screen is housed in a crystal beam that projects information into the cabin. The flushed crystals serve a double duty by recycling cabin expose for passengers to breathe. In addition, onboard electronic accessories are powered by photovoltaic cells on the Revolte's hood. The cells earmark energy to be stored so that the functions they power crapper be used even when the car is parked without debilitating the Revolte's batteries.

While the Revolte is clearly a concept, we wouldn't be surprised to see some of its design elements or profession on future Citroen production vehicles in the reaching years.
