INSPIRED BY JEAN-CHARLES DE CASTELBAJAC: INTRODUCING THE NEW CITROËN C1 JCC+ SPECIAL EDITION

FRIDAY 29 MAY 2020

  • Following the colourful E-Méhari Art Car in May 2018 and the Citroën C3 JCC+ in September 2018, it is now time for Citroën’s C1 to lend its lines to Jean-Charles de Castelbajac’s imagination.
  • Citroën is pleased to continue its collaboration with the famous French designer, who has linked fashion and lifestyle to enhance the look of the C1 city car. Jean-Charles de Castelbajac has created a high-end aesthetic, full of contrasts, which boasts his distinctive and colourful signature touches – subtly presented on the front doors, tailgate, C-pillars and on the special interior trim. The cheeky look of this new Citroën C1 special edition will certainly stand out in town.
  • The special 5-door edition, named C1 JCC+, boasts comfort-orientated equipment such as automatic air conditioning and automatic illumination of headlights, and style elements including a contrasting black roof, matt black wheel arch extensions and specially embroidered trim. The car also offers fivedriving assistance systems that are particularly useful in an urban environment, including a rear view camera.
  • New C1 JCC+ comes with Citroën’s VTi 72 S&S manual drivetrain, utilising a powerful and efficient Euro 6.3 petrol engine. It is available to order in the UK from today (Wednesday 27 May), starting at just £14,135 MRRP OTR. First deliveries are expected in July.

C1 JCC+ AT THE CUTTING EDGE OF STYLE

This third creative meeting of minds between Citroën and Jean-Charles de Castelbajac has given rise to yet another hugely attractive special edition. The energetic, sparkling and uninhibited personality of C1 JCC+ is ideal for those who want to get around town in a car with plenty of character. Automotive, fashion and art link up in the form of the new C1 JCC+ special edition – meaning the refined C1 city car range is enhanced with colourful and graphic lines for everyone’s viewing pleasure.

New Citroën C1 JCC+ boasts a stylish elegance, using the primary colours that Jean-Charles de Castelbajac loves so much: Red for passion, Blue for hope, Yellow for radiance. A fashion conscious signature for an extra touch of freshness and modernity in the city.

Both inside and outside, the designer’s touch is visible in his careful use of colour, providing the car with a unique character.
