Citroëns In Topvorm – The History of Citroën’s Design Studio
$88.00 US. (Delivery mid April.)
For more than a century, Citroën’s design studio has been the place where the latest models come to life. The studio is traditionally shrouded in secrecy. Outsiders are not allowed in, and what is being worked on behind those high walls is top secret. This book changes all that, as author Thijs van der Zanden was given unlimited access to the design studio and its archives for over three years. Never before have the doors been open to an outsider for so long. A unique opportunity to talk to everyone involved, see old and new projects and discover connections that were never visible before. What was being worked on, and by whom? What are the links between different models? And which cars were designed but never came to market…? You will find the answers in this unique book, full of never-before-published information, testimonials and images. A must-have for every enthusiast!
