CitroĂ«n fired their World Rally Championship driver Kris Meeke and his codriver Paul Nagle âdue to an excessively high number of crashes,â per a statement released by the team today.

The French. Theyâve designed some seriously strange stuff over the years, so itâs no surprise that when PSA Groupâs luxury brand let its designers craft their âdream car for 2035,â the scarf-wearing artists came up with something thoroughly wacky.

Spotted in Nuremberg, Germany, the still-futuristic Citroën DS sits next to its more utilitarian siblings, the 2CV-based Citroën Ami 6 and Méhari. Two Beetles in the background sit in the shadows of the incredible French gems.
With the increasing popularity of hybrid and electric cars, the number of cars that you can buy with two independent motors capable of turning some kind of energy into spinning tires has increased dramatically. Even so, all of these current multiple-powerplant vehicles owe thanks to the addition of electric motors. IfâŠ
While they may be on their way back, the United States doesnât really deserve Citroen. We have sinned too much as a nation for their line of joyous and weird cars. But for a little while, Citroen sold some cars in the United States like the DS but not in huge numbers. The Citroen CX, however was never sold here inâŠ
The CitroĂ«n Twelve, also known as the CitroĂ«n Traction Avant, debuted in 1934. It was advertised as being a âcar of an entirely new conception,â a claim which, at least this one time, holds up pretty well! See? Not all car company promises are wrong and bad.

When youâre in Europe, you can always pick out the American car nerds because something perfectly ordinary, like a Peugeot 208, can roll by and weâll absolutely lose our shit over it. Well, maybe weâll be losing our shit stateside soon!
Iâm used to seeing old CitroĂ«ns lean way over into turns, but hereâs a â2CV Specialeâ rally car that gets delightfully sideways instead. Itâs a car worthy of many, many giggles at how delightfully silly it is.
We say we like weird cars around here. But how weird are you really willing to live with? If youâre up for living in the strangest form of opulent Franco-Italian luxury there is, consider the CitroĂ«n SM. You have no idea how great this thing is.
One of the great things about Maryland Public Televisionâs Motorweek is that it puts even the least sporty cars through their paces, meaning we get to watch a bunch of shitty Chrysler K Cars try to stop from 55 mph, big AMC SUVs try to make it around a slalom, and old French cars designed in the 1930s try to get fromâŠ
