Citroen’s Cactus lineup has done nothing but make headlines since the 2013 Citroen Cactus Concept turned a lot of heads at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. It’s hard to believe that it’s only been two years, but in that span, the Cactus lineup has given rise to a production model (the 2014 Citroen C4 Cactus), a separate prototype (the 2015 Citroen Aircross Concept), and the title of 2015 World Car Design of the Year at the New York International Auto Show back in April 2015. One might even say that the success of the model played a huge part in Citroen’s decision to build a new prototype, called the Cactus M Concept. And in a nice twist of fate, it’s also making its in debut at the Frankfurt Auto Show on September 17, 2015.
Not much is known about the Cactus M Concept at this point, apart from a very brief description from Citroen, describing the model as a fresh take of the C4 Cactus that also pays homage to the Mehari, a light utility vehicle the French automaker produced from 1968 to 1988.
The allusion to the Mehari is a nice starting point on how I imagine the M Concept is going to look like. Spanish car website Actualidad Motor then followed that up by publishing images of what appears to be the Cactus M Concept right smack in the middle of a promo shoot.
Citroen also released a teaser photo of a surfboard being sprayed in a paint booth. The M Concept doesn’t make an appearance in the teaser photo but piecing together everything I’ve seen and been told about this concept, I’m putting my money on a topless concept vehicle that’s meant to be used on beach trips and other outdoor activities.
