The Citroen X concept has been designed by Jordan Gendler as a vehicle that balances a sense of retro futurism with modern elements for a final design that is seemingly ready for the roads of tomorrow.
The vehicle boasts an aerodynamic design that incorporates characteristics of the Tesla Cybertruck and has a sculpted front section that moves into a graceful trunk area. The car thus looks like something both out of the future as well a sports car from the 80s with its heavier aesthetic.
The Citroen X concept takes a number of vehicle designs into account by Gendler to be achieved, which includes the SM to the GS as well as to the Xantia for a car that truly pays homage to the history of the brand.
