Citroen Oli - cardboard electric car

[Danith]

This will divide the room.

Brilliant or ridiculous?

I'm in the brilliant camp. Thinking (bullshit bingo jargon) 'outside of the box'. A light weight electric vehicle using materials other than plastic.

Not sure how recyclable plastic coated cardboard is, but kudos to Citroen for trying (I'm sure Citroen aren't the only ones at the moment, well I hope so).

68 mph, surely that's not just city car suitable but general cars? We can't exceed 70 mph on any road so if the acceleration is there, then no reason it can't be suited for all driving?

I particularly like the ideas of the flat windscreen to reduce cost as well as reduce the need for AC with less sunlight coming into the cabin.

These ideas are very much in their infancy, but I'm impressed.

I’ll watch the video later but this smells of Le Trabant.

It looks like a thing. That maybe some people will buy. Maybe. If they’re blind.

I like the fact they’re trying different stuff.

I’m mortified it has the same name as myself.

 

[Mr Squashie]

So it's cardboard painted with bed liner? Wish my MX5 had been made of that, then it wouldn't have turned to orange dust on my driveway

 

[seb]

it's an interesitng concept car for sure and i like the usual mad citoren efforts.

If some of the concepts get brought to citroen main ev cars it cna only be a good thing tbh.

 

[Daz...]

It looks like a little toy Hummer.

For some reason I find myself quite liking that, Citreon going back to their roots of being mad! Be great so see stuff like this come to fruition.

I'd buy it just so I can say I'm in you x

Louis beat me to the joke about being called Citroën

Citroën Kenneth

Least we're not called Loowish.com

1000 kg kerb-weight is what caught my attention...and it has a faint whiff of BMW i3 in the quirky design/material choices.

If they're available when my i3 lease ends, I could see myself having one.

I like it mostly because it's got the aerodynamics of a brick.

Plus when you run someone over and they smack into massive angular windscreen they'll really know about it.

I think its a really cool concept. If Emily still has a license if/when they turn it into reality I would absolutely consider one for her.

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Looks like it's from Battlefield 2042.

...might be time to just die soon.

People bought the Picasso and the new M2, they will buy this.

Picasso is the British escalade tho

I feel like the Fiat Multipla should receive an honourary mention here also....

I always think of the Pontiac Aztec as being the US Multipla. They are both so hideous and odd that I would secretly quite like to buy one, I have no idea why.

b*****d, thought I was safe. I mean it could be worse, it could be an "M-lite".

Looks like the kind of car you built using Lego as a kid. Don't mind the looks apart from the flat windscreen.
