New Citroen C4 Cactus and C1 make their U.K. debut at Speed Festival

During the 2014 Goodwood Festival of Speed, visitors will be able to get up close with both the Citroen C1 and Citroen C4 Cactus in addition to interacting with Citroen's unique Airbump technology. There will also be an Airbump themed activity for guests to enjoy.

On sale in the U.K. from October, the C4 Cactus signals the brand's bold response to the changing needs of today's car owners, offering a real alternative to the traditional compact hatchback with a fresh and distinctive approach. Visually striking, the C4 Cactus stands out from the crowd with its concept car looks, crossover styling cues and customisable options, including a range of colours for the all new Airbump panels.

Launching on July, the Citroen C1 is the latest generation of the popular city car that has sold more than 760,000 examples worldwide since launch in 2005. With a cheerful personality, attractive styling and useful technologies, the new C1 delivers an upbeat response to urban mobility requirements. The new version is available in both three and five-door versions, and a new open top body style, dubbed Airscape (banner).

In April 1934, Citroen unveiled a car that would go on to make motoring history with a series of innovations including front-wheel drive, which was a ground-breaking development in its time. Citroen is celebrating 80 years of the Traction Avant in 2014 with a show car on display in the Moving Motor Show pavilion.
