But as a car brand, how do you get a car into a movie set over two thousand years ago?  <\/p>\n<h2>Asterix &amp; Obelix<\/h2>\n<p>Simple: you get a little more creative with the term &#8220;car. In fact, a two-wheeled cart is a distant precursor of an automobile. These already existed in the time of the Romans, the wheel being, after all, around 3500 BCE. Chr invented. You can see what such a vehicle would have looked like if Citro\u00ebn existed back then in the new Asterix &amp; Obelix movie.  <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-content\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/asterixobelixcitroen2-639b3da4c52b3-1140x641.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-143267\"><\/figure>\n<h2>Concept cart<\/h2>\n<p>Especially for the film, Citro\u00ebn designed and built a concept competition car. The French normally set aside a year for a concept car, but for the concept car there was only three months between the first sketch and the final concept car.  <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-content\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/asterixobelixcitroen1-639b3dad3aafa-1-1140x641.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-143271\"><\/figure>\n<h2>2CV<\/h2>\n<p>The chariot has the lines of a Citro\u00ebn 2CV, so of course it is pulled by two horses. Very exotic materials have been used, such as boar&#8217;s stomach for the undercarriage, and fireflies under the influence of the famous magic potion provide illumination. The headlights they fly around in are made from Gallic helmets. Of course, sustainability has also been considered, as the wheels are made from recycled shells.  <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-content\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/asterixobelixcitroen3-639b3d9e79fc0-1-1140x641.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-143268\"><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Zlatan Ibrahimovic  <\/h2>\n<p>By the way, the Citro\u00ebn is not the only notable appearance in the new A&amp;O film. None other than Zlatan Ibrahimovic is part of the cast. The Swedish striker plays a small role, as a Roman bad guy. Watch the trailer in a moment. Asterix &amp; Obelix fans will have to be patient for a while. The new film &#8211; Asterix &amp; Obelix in the Middle Kingdom &#8211; will premiere in France on Feb. 1.
