TheCitroën Prototype C was a range of prototype vehicles created byCitroën from 1955 to 1956 under the direction ofAndré Lefèbvre.[1] The idea was to produce awater-drop-shaped, very lightweight vehicle that would be more modern and smaller than the2CV. One of the prototypes, the Citroën C10, has survived and is still owned byCitroën.[2]
The overall look of the vehicle was quite similar to theMesserschmitt KR175bubble car. It was equipped with the same 425 cc engine as the2CV.
The vehicle was nicknamed the Citroën Coccinelle (French for ladybug).[3]
