TAKE a look at Citroen's electric Puma! This is the stunning SURVOLT – an all-electric concept car that points the way to how a future small coupe could look.

Making its debut at the Geneva Motor Show, the SURVOLT is said to fuse the design themes of the Revolte and GT by Citroen concept cars. To this it adds a sports racing look, complete with a big wing and compact dimensions at just 3.85m long, 1.87m wide and 1.2m high.

It's certainly a head-turning design, featuring LED clusters all-round. An evolution of the Revolte's distinctive colour palette, SURVOLT’s two-tone paintwork features shades of fuchsia and charcoal grey. Under the skin, a 200kW electric motor drives the rear wheels and there are a host of batteries located in the front, middle and rear of the car.

Citroen is staying tight lipped about any production future for the SURVOLT, but bosses have said that they would like to build a limited number of cars to compete in a one-make racing series.
