Funkier C4 robot hits New York

Citroen has revealed what its new C4 robot commercial will involve, taking the cult automaton onto the streets of New York.

The robot will visit Manhattan and strut its metal puffs to the strains of MC Lita's remix of the BeeGees' 'Staying Alive'.

Citroen says the new robot is "funked-up", completed with 'bling' accessories like jewelled teeth, disco lights and glitter-ball beret.

This will be the fourth advert to feature the dancing automaton, this time designed to showcase the remodelled 'New Look' C4 that goes on sale this month.

The vehicle has a restyled exterior, new equipment trim levels and a variety of new petrol engines co-developed with BMW, designed to produce lower CO2 emissions.
