Citroën Shoots for the Moon with C3 Aircross Lunar Concept in Brazil

Called the Aircross Lunar, the concept is based on the C3 Picasso minivan but gives it a more rough-and-tumble appearance – similar to the larger C4 Aircross but even more rugged, as if prepared to drive over the surface of the moon. Citroën isn't saying much about the concept, but as you can see, it is fitted with knobby BF Goodrich tires, beefed-up bumpers, contrasting wheel arches, side sills inspired by the C4 Cactus, a hinged and oddly square spare tire carrier and a roof rack with dual containers anchored to the front wheel arches. (Can't count on gravity to keep them locked down on the moon, now can you?)

Brazil represents half of all Citroëns sold in Latin America and the C3 – manufactured locally in Porto Real – is its top seller, with 320,000 units sold since the introduction of the first-generation model in 2003.
