Paris '08: Citroen GT Concept

Stunning supercar concept from Citroen

---

After weeks of digital teasers Citroen took the wraps off its GT concept, a hydrogen-powered supercar with zero emissions. There was little information on the car but it has a theortetical 0-62mph of 3.6 seconds and a top speed in the region of 200mph.

The car is a two-seater but measures almost fivemetres long. It has been developed in partnership with Sony and will be available in the Gran Turisimo computer game.

Looks good from the front

[Akiraprise]

Looks awesome, for a sci-fi film.

love the rear end that'll cut pedestrians in half if reversed into,

hate the copper dash

[CypherP]

From the exterior, it looks wicked. Well done Citroen. I agree about the copper dash though, not really sure about that. Would look better in carbon fibre or alcantara.

I like!

[Martin_Hx]

Tis very cool

[daveco]

That looks excellent. Imagine it made it into production!

fitted with a really good diesel engine

[Chris71]

Maybe they've got Citroen and Lamborghini the wrong way round?

[Snoggledog]

That looks really good. Will it ever make it to production? Seriously doubt it.

[patmahe]

It is a radical concept designed to give citroen credibility by appearing in a computer game. If citroen build a decent 2 seat roadster with about a 2 litre engine that was fun to drive and had the citroen quirkiness, I'd have a lot more respect for them instead of wasting money on a project like this.

[dublet]

That would almost make me consider buying a Citroen.

[Fetchez la vache]

Looks great from the front
Looks like a whale giving birth from the back.

Intreagued by the figures given hydrogen drive. Wonder what the range is. Realistically thats the only part we may see on a production car, apart from even more sculptured plastic on the C3.

[EdT]

I had something crawling up the side of my house that looked similar. Gave me the willies.

[missing the VR6]

Even if it did make it into production the only people who are going to buy a French super car will be the French as they're very patriotic.
Imagine the conversation,
I've just ordered my new supercar
Oh really which one Lambo, Porsche?
No a Citroen
Oh!
On the plus side given Citroens discount policy it should be available from new for 99p and 0% finance!

p.s. front looks great rest is a bit rubbish!

[Ace Sportscars]

Speed Racer anyone?

[dpbird90]

Yep that actually looks fantastic, not just for a Citroen, but I think it looks slightly better than the new Lambo.

And because it is a Citroen, it will be available from your local dealer with a huge lump of cashback and be worth 20p in about a week

[Mr Gear]

Yeah, they've gone a bit nuts on the back, and totally lost the plot with the interior, but otherwise, it's exterior is at least 90% nice.

At least kids get to play with it in Gran Tourismo.

[Silver993tt]

I assume it doesn't come with a reverse gear? Looking at the rear of it it looks impossible to reverse, so parking would a "challenge" at the very least.

[dazsmith69]

Fronts nice back looks like one car inside another, like a transformer

they sure dont want any drag on this car do they

[Mr Fenix]

Completely Bonkers and just so... French

Citroen just go ahead and build the damn thing, well the front half anyway.

Can't see any justification for a copper dash other than to make the car more "outre".

[bob1179]

That is awesome, I love the look of it. The interior is a bit odd mind.

[kitbags]

Looks a bit too busy for my liking.
