The first Citroën in history (Type A) was launched in Paris in June 1919. To celebrate this anniversary, the brand launched a free exhibition in the XV district of Paris, the place where it all started. Just a few meters from the Seine River, where the famous Javel factory was, a street in Paris was transformed during the night to surprise the passers-by at dawn. Along 400 meters of the street Linois, 100 representative models of the 100 years of the brand were exhibited.
The Golden Scarab will be joined by the Silver Crescent, a future 100% electric concept car, and other electric vehicles from the 2022 range.Citroën has announced that they will take to the Sahara Desert again in 2022, re-creating the legendary journey of the Golden Scarab in 1922, which then became the first-ever automobile to cross the Sahara.
