Up until now, the GTbyCitroen has been pure virtual reality – a digital-only supercar created for the Gran Turismo video game. So we were a little surprised when these pictures popped into our inbox.
Yep, it’s a real one. In London. Take a good look at the first pic in our
gallery. See the shadows and reflections? That’s not the work of a Photoshop
genius - it’s proof that Citroen has made a proper, touchable concept version.
Looks awesome, doesn’t it? At five metres long and just a metre high, it’s got
a swoopy supercar stance. The gullwing doors don’t look bad either.
Of course, Citroen couldn’t resist a little virtual trickery – some of the shots are renderings from the GT5 Prologue game.
But fear not. The real GT goes to Goodwood next week to drive up a posh
man’s driveway. Hopefully it will have something decent under the bonnet. Maybe
some kind of V8 sourced from outside the Citroen parts store.
If not, there’s always the 1.6-litre diesel from a Berlingo…

They have to make that! If they could source the oily bits cheaply (LS7 Corvette ZR1 motor anyone?) then it could be justifiable?

the Peugeot 908 HDi FAP engine would be pretty good, 700 horsepower and 890 ft·lbf........

Did it pay the congestion charge? That means it's a proper working car... I did see someone's picture of it at Le Mans so it seems to be making it around. Citroen's biggest engine is a 3.0 V6 as far as I know but if you strapped a few turbos to that it might be alright!

These are three words I have never used to describe a Citroen (or any French car, for that matter) before: I want one!
