First look: Citroën preparing comeback of the duck

Citroën is reviving the 2CV, a car known as the "Ente", nearly 80 years after its debut in 1948. The French automaker will showcase an electric version of the 2CV at the Paris Motor Show from October 12 to 18. The new car is currently just a study, but Citroën plans to put it into production within two years, with a target price of around 15,000 euros.

The electric 2CV is expected to have a range of 200 to 300 kilometers and will be designed to fit into the EU's new M1E vehicle category, aimed at promoting electric small cars from Europe.
