What aspects of a cactus lend themselves to a car?

Is it seriously lighter or is there a joke in it that I missed?

Very clever!

Prickly, protective spines. Of course, you're not actually allowed to cover cars in spikes these days, so Citroen had to settle for squidgy plastic.

Never would've guessed that!

I just thought it was something silly because the others are!

They need to use it

True that. and a 2cV in a way is much cooler than a mondial

the weight at 965kg is actually a serious achievement.

i also think (not sure) that those brown panels on the sides have some form of cactus in them. may have to double check that

"It is not recommended to race against Koenigseggs in this car. Unless you have an unfair advantage. "
