Citroen confirms production for its GTbyCitreon Supercar

Vincent Besson, an executive for Citroen revealed in Geneva that the auto maker has confirmed its intention to produce the GTbyCitroen based on a limited production run of probably 20 units. The GTbyCitroen first appeared in the Gran Turismo 5 game based on the Playstation 3 platform and its full-scale model was featured in Paris.

The GTbyCitroen would become the first car to be produced based a video game. Besson did not reveal a production schedule and other details, but the GTbyCitroen will most probably feature a V8, supplied by either Ford or struggling General Motors.

The full scale model measures 4.960 meters long, 2.080 meters wide and 1.090 meters high, which is considered pretty big for a super car. Other features included in the scale; large wheel arches, 21-inch alumimium wheels, LED lights that project information to the driver and “gullwing” styled doors. Lets just keep a watchful eye on racing games these days, as you would not know, what might just end up being produced! Continue reading to view an image gallery.

  • This car is unbelievably out of this world. I'm wondering if Citreon will keep the hydrogen or whatever green thing that's supposed to power thing thing or use one of its super sluggish engines.

    the rims from SLR, mirror from koneigsegg, sissor doors from lambo, chassis looks like from lotus and perhaps a 5.7 litres chevy V8 ..

    Fantastic !!

    All those ridiculous air scoops, front splitter, rear spoiler, rear diffuser, interior copper usage and such will all be toned down then.

    *Sigh*

    It wont be toned down. This car will be similar in concept to the reventon, super ridiculous, super expensive, super exclusive (20 only) and wont be seen by us mere mortals other than in motorshows or internet.

    PS. BTW the Petronas FP1 is also a production bike ( last time i asked NAZA World it is all sold out) but who here has seen one on the road??
