The Beast
Make no mistake – the Citroen GT isn’t a virtual car. The car manufacturer is partnering with Polyphony (remember Gran Turismo?) to simulate the driving experience and offer visitors to the Auto Show Paris 2008 a pleasant surprise. Now to the car; the GTbyCITROËN features 21-inch aluminum wheels, gull-wing doors, wacky scoops and sculpted lines spread all across its beautiful body. To add to the affect, Citroen has thrown in blue LED headlamps, an expansive windscreen and cushioned racing seats in stunning black.
The Machine
We would be surprised if we come across gasoline engines these days. Every second car rolling out seems stuck with the green tag and the Citroen GT is no different. It carries a fuel cell powered engine, with the transmission taken care of by electric power. And this also explains the smooth underbelly.
The Thrill
For racers, the simulator offers a surreal driving experience a la the Gran Turismo. And to make sure there are no double standards to it, Citroen has added a grim theme to the cabin and most importantly, a design that would take you into the future of aerodynamics.
