The Citroën Karin was a radical concept car unveiled at the 1980 Paris Motor Show, designed by Trevor Fiore. It featured a striking, futuristic pyramidal or wedge shape and had massive angled glass panels and butterfly doors. The small roof was famously only the size of an A3 sheet of paper. Inside, the design was revolutionary, featuring a 1+2 seating arrangement where the driver sat centrally, slightly ahead of the two passengers. Controls were centralized around the steering wheel, including phone dialing buttons and a screen to monitor the road. The Karin was strictly a styling model and never entered production.
