Un an après le concept Karin du Salon de Paris de 1980, Citroën présente la Xenia à Francfort, due au même designer, Trevor Fiore. Le style de cette Xenia, moins spectaculaire que celui de la Karin, n’aboutira pas davantage à un modèle de série. Il ne faut bien sûr pas confondre ici le style monovolume et le concept monospace… d’autant qu’en 1981, les monospaces n’existaient pas encore !

The 2CV made its career in sedan and panel van (with some pickup derivatives). But other bodies were also available, offered by many coachbuilders or artisans. Gazelle and Hoffmann, among others, made convertibles in small series (based on existing models). But this Sarhy, built in the 1980s on a shortened chassis, remained a prototype.

Displayed at the 1959 Geneva Motor Show, the Fulgur is Simca's response to a challenge launched by the Journal de Tintin to imagine the automobile of the year 2000. The prototype, designed by Robert Opron (also the stylist of the Citroën GS, SM, CX and Renault Fuego), had no engine. It was supposed to be voice-controlled and to receive obstacle detectors and electromagnetic suspension.

Before the 201 was launched in 1929 and established the brand trademark (three digits with a central 0), Peugeot used different names, beginning with the Type 1 in 1889. This boat was based on the 177, released in 1924. Although equipped with a propeller, this vehicle was not amphibious. It was built to promote Peugeot's maritime subsidiary.

The 1970 SM was an elegant, high-performance front-wheel drive coupé equipped with a Maserati 6-cylinder. Unhappily, this model was a commercial failure. In 1974, Citroën worked on this little-known prototype, intended to be an update of the SM, much lighter and more powerful. But the takeover of Citroën by Peugeot marked the end of the SM. This prototype was destroyed in 1977.

With the Xanae concept car introduced at the 1994 Paris Motor Show, Citroën announced its will to offer a new car in the compact MPV segment. It was two years before the first-gen Renault Scénic, but finally five years before the first Picasso. In fact, the design of the Xanae rather shows the style of the Xsara, released in 1997. This Franstyle resin model car is limited to 300 pieces.
