RideLust Salutes The Auto Show Babe

It’s almost auto show season, and in celebration we’d like to take this time to honor one of the greatest accessories ever invented for the modern automobile: the Auto Show Girl. From Paris to Tokyo to Detroit, the girls of the auto show are undeniably hot and definitely deserve a salute for standing for hours at a time in 4 inch heels, smiling incessantly in the face of open-mouthed guys fumbling for their camera phones.
So here’s to you ladies [especially to the woman in the 4th picture down after the jump whom our sources indicate stumbled across this photo from an event she worked and was surprised to find that it had been filed by the event sponsor under "dumb blonde and red Ferrari". Although we have no idea who she is, we're almost positive she'd like to instruct whoever tagged the photo to "Suck it hard, jackass," -ahem- or something to that effect...].
And to you, RideLust readership, you’re welcome in advance.

Citroen Survolt Concept

CITROËN is proposing a new automotive vision with Survolt. Initiated by the Revolte concept car revealed at last year’s Frankfurt Motor Show, Survolt is the continuation of CITROËN’S exploration of distinctive and original electric vehicles. Survolt Concept turns received notions through its radically new vision in a consummate blend of high-fashion glamour and motor-racing extravagance.


Survolt features two-tone paint, hues of fuchsia and charcoal grey, and plays with materials and volumes. It is further characterized by the strong contrasts between the voluptuous bonnet and and sculpted flanks with emphatic wheel arches. At the front, the distinctive Citroen badge reigns above the large oval-shaped grille, while its slim and horizontal head lamps are inspired by sports coupés. At the rear, Survolt features the elegant light signature of Revolte together with a spoiler in an essential reference to motor sport. Inside, Survolt’s cockpit is designed like a floating cell with a glass setting held between chrome-finished roll bars.
With its compact dimensions of 3.85 meter long, 1.87 meter wide and 1.20 meter high, Citroen Survolt Concept re-appropriates sports car styling cues to form an all-new and revolutionary concept. Like the Revolte concept car, Survolt is powered by electricity, thus combining sports performance with environmental respect and sustainable development.
