Citroen Karin concept (1980)
Concept car · 1980 · Combustion
A pyramid on wheels with a central driving seat
Designed by Trevor Fiore, the Karin was a truncated-pyramid coupe whose roof was barely the size of an A3 sheet. Its most radical feature was a three-abreast seating layout with the driver in the centre, predating the McLaren F1 by more than a decade, atop Citroën's hydropneumatic suspension.
