Citroën has always presented models with very original designs. Many of them have gone down in history, such as the legendary 2CV or the cult DS. In addition to their iconic shape, these cars – and many others presented throughout history – also featured pioneering technical solutions, such as hydropneumatic suspension.
One of the unconventional models is the C10, a prototype from 1956 that predated the MPV concept by several decades. With a length of 3,84 meters, a height of 1,40 meters and a width of only 1,55 meters, the C10 has very aerodynamic curves, dictated by ideas from aviation.

Its drag coefficient of just 0,258 is sensational for the 50s and can be considered very low even by today's standards, as the most aerodynamic modern electric cars have a coefficient in the range of 0,20 to 0,22.
But aerodynamics are not Citroën's only specialty, as special attention has also been paid to weight. On the scales, the C10 weighs just 382 kg, almost a third of the weight of the current C3. An impressive figure achieved thanks in part to the aluminum bodywork and the extremely minimalist interior.










Despite its small size, the Citroën comfortably seats four adults. The two bench seats are not equipped with seat belts or head restraints, and the instrument panel is reduced to a minimum.
