Citroën does not build many cars like the Citroën Activa: a 2-door coupe, built from 1988 to 1990 in the age of turbocharging and the first electronic engine management. Its designer of record is Art Blakeslee (Head of Design) / Dan Abramson (exterior, both Activa I & II).
How it came about
The Citroën Activa and Activa 2 were two concept cars produced by the French manufacturer Citroën as a means to test and to showcase features intended for future use in their production cars. Both were unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in 1988 and 1990 respectively. The name Activa was later used to refer to the production Xantia fitted with Activa suspension.
Under the skin
The record carries the shape — a 2-door coupe. The engine, output and weight have not yet reached the open record, and MotorJury does not guess at them.
Family and rivals
On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Ferrari F40, the Lexus LS, the Subaru Legacy. Its Citroën stablemates include the Citroën K and the Citroën 2CV.
The money
There is no federal ownership record for the Citroën Activa — it predates the complaint database or was never sold in the United States — so MotorJury publishes no running-cost figure for it. For a car of this age the price is set by the collector market and the condition of the individual example, not by a formula.
