Citroen Karin
For those who’ve always wanted to drive a spaceship on Earth, look no further than the 1980 Citroen Karin, a pyramidal-shaped concept car presented at the Paris Motor Show in 1980. Designed by Trevor Fiore, the exterior of this bizarre car incorporated flush glass panels, faired rear wheels, and butterfly doors.



The roof of the Karin was only the size of an A3 sheet of paper due to its truncated pyramid shape. One of the Karin’s most noticeable interior features was the unique three-seat layout with the driver located in the middle of the two passengers. Also among its features were a 4-cylinder engine, front wheel drive, and a hydropneumatic suspension like the Citroen DS.
