Auto news; Citroen GT a virtual reality Joint venture with maker of Gran Turismo allows gamers to drive radical model already!
This is a Citroen for the PlayStation generation! The stunning GTbyCitroen took the Paris Motor Show by storm when it was unveiled last week, and it bridges the gap between reality and the gaming world.

It’s the product of a joint venture between the firm and the maker of the PS3 racer Gran Turismo 5, and the virtual version is available to download now. Measuring over five metres long, the GTbyCitroen is an assault on the eyes, with exaggerated styling and overblown dimensions.

Extravagant air ducts cover the body, while scissor doors and 21-inch wheels also feature. Neat design touches include an active rear spoiler, LED headlights, a steeply raked windscreen and angular carbon fibre wing mirrors.

But despite its racy looks, the game’s GT is powered by a zero emissions fuel cell/electric drivetrain!
