The Citroen Taranis is a two-seat off-road racer concept which was developed by Pete Norris. Power comes from four electric motors, one housed within each wheel hub. This layout is similar to one of Norris’s previous concepts, the Honda Chopper.
By placing the heavy motors within the wheels, instead of the raised body, the center of gravity is moved lower down which would improve stability and handling. Norris has designed the Taranis with double-jointed front swingarms which would greatly reduce the turning circle.
The interior of the Citroen Taranis matches the exterior in that it is incredibly futuristic. The driver is met with something that looks more like an aircraft yoke than a steering wheel, and a neat digital dash provides all the essential information.
Three adjectives sum up the Taranis quite succinctly; crazy, scary, cool.
