New leaked photographs of the Citroen Revolte have seeped across the internet – revealing the mysterious concept car that some commentators claim harks back to the 2CV. These Revolte photos were published by our friends over at Worldcarfans.

Although we know little about the Revolte, judging by its name it's yet another electric car. And these photos reveal more of its compact style, complete with suicide doors.

Citroen Revolte: the leaked photos and the official teaser

Citroen issued one teaser photograph of its surprise for the 2009 Frankfurt motor show earlier in the week – and we said it looks set to be a concept car hint of the next C2 supermini.

It’s not part of the ongoing C-Cactus project, which will spawn a new pared-back hatchback, CAR understands. And nor is it part of the DS3, DS4, DS5 launch of new near-premium family cars, insiders confirm.

So what is the point of the new Citroen Revolte?

It’s difficult to tell from these leaked official photographs, but we suspect the new Revolte concept will inform the next generation of small Citroens.

We’ve already seen the new C3, so this is likely to point to the replacements for the C1 and C2 families.All will be revealed at the Frankfurt show next Tuesday, 15 September 2009.
