I don’t know about you, but I’m hoping that the Citroen DS2 doesn’t take on this particular design, shown in a rendering from French site Caradisiac.com. The Citroen DS2 is likely to be the production version of the Revolte concept which was first seen at the 2009 Frankfurt show. At least the name has changed. The DS2 should prove to be the new 2CV model and the design should reflect this, although we’re hoping for something less cartoonish.

The DS2 would appear in the Citroen line-up, as its name suggests, between the DS3 and DS1. The latter will be the entry level model to the DS range and will replace the three-door Citroen C1 (though we have our doubts about this last affermation). The DS2 would likely utilise the new generation C1 platform and should be about 360 cm long. It would compete directly with the Fiat 500 although the French model should have five doors. Apparently, only petrol engines are planned so far with power between 60 and 100 hp.

We can see this model, or the DS1 at the least, with the same kind of twin-cylinder unit as the new Fiat 500 TwinAir. The Citroen DS2 isn’t planned for market release until 2013 so we’ll take this information, along with the rendering, as purely hypothetical at this stage. Pricing of about 10,000 euros is likely, and an electric model should appear in the future, as well.
