Air Car - the CityCAT model
Designed to replace the first generation of CityCATs (which served mainly as a test vehicle), the CityCATs 2, compared to its predecessor, is larger and more comfortable, has a common brand identity with the MiniCATs and its concepts, and benefits from an industrial rationalisation that keeps its price particularly competitive. The research undertaken in developing the style, the ergonomics and the spacious interior for the MiniCATs has benefited the CityCATs 2.
For the first time, bodywork has been designed so that it can be truly modular, and consequently more than ten different versions can be produced from a single basic vehicle. A double-cabin pick-up-monospace, sedan, taxi, business car, station wagon, van (with or without raised roof, with or without windows) and a few more. All by simply changing the rear hardtop and a few interior elements.
Between three and six passengers can be seated, according to the version: three in utility vehicles and six in the sedan, monospace or station wagon.
The CityCATs 2 is a car that combines utility with comfort. The amount of space for passengers makes it a limousine, especially in the rear, where there is plenty of elbow and legroom for a comfortable trip.
The dashboard retains the arch concept introduced in the MiniCATs, thus also giving more space for the driver and his neighbours.
The luggage compartment of the MiniCATs is huge considering the small dimensions of the car (550 to 700 dm3 (19.4 to 24.7 ft3) against 2.65 m (8.7 ft) long car). Comparatively, that of the CityCATs is gigantic (1200 dm3 (42.4 ft3), with the rear shelf and bench seat in place! As for the utility version, it can transport more than 3 m3 (106 ft3) of goods. And all this in a car of only 4.10 m (13.4 ft) length!
The CityCATs 2 also maintains the idea of the central driving position and in the sedan version, there are six roomy seats.
The CityCATs 2 will be equipped with 4 and 6 cylinder engines, and production will begin one year after the MiniCATs for an average weighted price of$18,000 to $20,000 (taxes not included).
