This amazingly trapezoid concept for Citroen was, apparently, designed by the mysterious personage of Trevor Fiore.<\/p>\n

Now, we’re not sure wether this fellow’s real name was Trevor Frost, or wether the ‘Fiore’ was simply a nom de plume<\/em> when designing cars for foreign carmakers. A wander around the webs will shore up any number of theories and attributions our Trevor.<\/p>\n

Whoever he was, he seems to have been responsible some interesting concepts, particularly from the purely aesthetic level.<\/p>\n

The Karin three-seater was commissioned in advance of the 1980 Paris show and built in collaboration with Carrozzeria Coggiola (the atelier responsible for Saab’s Sonnet 3<\/a> and 9000 as well as the original M\u00e9gane concept).<\/p>\n

This was obviously Citroen demonstrating their preparation for a technologically advanced, future characterised by outside the box thinking and low drag coefficients – but you can also see the influence of what had been there before in the company’s back catalogue.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
