The thing you"ll have noticed first about the 19_19, Citroen"s second centenary concept following the cutesy Ami One, will have been its ginormous wheels.Yup, when the average family SUV has its comfort torn to shreds by 22s, Citroen has fitted some quite mad 30-inch rims to the 19_19. There are all manner of reasons why, but we"re assured because the wheels and their arches are effectively isolated from the body, and move independently the ride won"t be ruined.Increasing their size means more tyre on the road, too, important when the car"s supposed eco friendliness brings super narrow wheels. As a concept car in 2019 it"s inevitably electric-powered, after all.
