1998 Citroën C-3 Concept

First shown at the October 1998 Paris Auto Show, the C3 Lumiere concept utilized various "pointed" styling cues, from the wheels to the taillights and mirrors. With an ocean pearl blue paint scheme with light gray accents, the Lumiere was the gateway to the C3 production car of 2002. The interior was most unique, with a retractable analog speedometer/tachometer on the top of the dashboard, a dial showing the car's running functions (windshield wipers, lights, etc.), and a manual gear shift lever mounted vertically on the point of the protruding dashboard console. The theme of hexagons inside circles was carried onto the door speakers and ventilation ducts.
