The duck's comeback: Citroën 2CV: In Paris, the duck is learning to fly again

Citroën's classic car, the 2CV, also known as the "Ente", remains a popular vehicle in Paris 36 years after its production ended. The car, which was first presented at the Paris Motor Show in 1948 and produced over 5.1 million times until 1990, has become an iconic symbol of the city. Citroën is now planning to revive the 2CV as an electric car, with a concept model unveiled at the Paris Motor Show that pays homage to the original's simplicity, accessibility, and freedom. The new model is expected to be launched in 2028, on the 80th anniversary of the 2CV.
