Citroen has decided to revive the strangest model in its line-up – the 2CV.

French automaker Citroen has begun work on the revival of the legendary 2CV model. The new car will be built on the Citroen C3 platform and will receive an electric powertrain. The original 2CV, produced from 1949 to 1990, became a symbol of affordable transport in France and was nicknamed the “ugly duckling” for its unusual design.

The French company Citroen has announced plans to revive the iconic 2CV model, which has become a symbol of the affordable car for many generations. At the moment, the project is at an early stage of development, and technical details have not yet been disclosed. However, it is known that the new version will be built on the platform of the modern C3 model and equipped with an electric power plant.

The original Citroën 2CV was produced from 1949 to 1990 and won the love of consumers due to its simplicity, reliability and affordability. In France, the car became as iconic as the Ford T in the USA or the Volkswagen Beetle in Germany. Its unusual design with large headlights and rounded shape earned the 2CV the nickname “ugly duckling”, which became part of its legend.

Earlier it became known that Dodge also plans to return the legendary Stealth name to the market, but in a crossover format. The new Stealth will replace the Durango and will be introduced in 2027. Unlike its predecessor, which was a redesigned version of the Mitsubishi 3000GT sports car, the new car will become a crossover, retaining only the name from the past.
