New Citroen Karin is Very Hot… For 1980!

Dmitry on 05 05 09

Having no new models to reveal at the 1980 Paris Salon, Citroën stylist Trevor Fiore was given the go ahead to build a model (not a driveable car) for display. The result was the trapezoidal Karin, clearly inspired by Michel Harmand’s design for a GS Coupé. A three seater with the driver being seated centrally and ahead of the two passengers, this layout pre-empted that of the McLaren F1 of 1992.

This is so nice that it’s not even fun. Love it.. It may just find it’s way on to my blog adequatelyfresh.com .. In all honesty I think the three seater is just a good idea and makes sertain design elements possible that you wouldn’t have in a sedan (McLaren comes to mind)
