Citroen has taken a leaf out of BMW’s book and turned its stunning Survolt electric racer into an Art Car. The striking new design is being shown off at Citroen’s flagship C-42 showroom on the Champs-Ήlysées in Paris.

The Survolt Art Car is the work of French artist Francoise Nielly. Neilly is a painter who specialises in creating artworks which emphasise light, and her work influenced the Citroen design team which penned the Survolt.

The Art Car is being displayed alongside a host of Citroens which have been customised, including a C5 Tourer in matt black and a DS3, designed by Italian artist Flavio Melchiorre, which won first prize in the firm’s CitroΫn Créative Awards design competition.
