newVideoPlayer("/ConceptGT.flv", 506, 423,""); We had a chance this morning to be one of the first to drive the GTbyCITROEN Concept on Gran Turismo 5: Prologue at the Paris Auto Show . The car, easily the hottest concept here at the show, was designed as a joint venture between Citroen and Polyphony Digital, the makers of Gran Turismo. We'll gladly admit we are not virtuosos of GT5, as we should be, but once we figured out what everything did, it was off to the races. By our uncalibrated estimates, the GTbyCITROEN has a tendency to oversteer more than we expected, but it is fast, and it'll handle high speeds pretty well. Oh, and after we took a look inside the concept, we were interested to see that dash provides a sweet heads-up unit displaying current velocity. We totally need to get a PS3. galleryPost('gtbycitroenlive', 6, 'GTbyCITROEN Exterior'); galleryPost('GTbyCitroenInterior', 6, 'GTbyCITROEN Interior');

Citroën has, thus far, come up with arguably the most radical and intriguing vehicle at the Paris Auto Show with the GTbyCITROËN , a joint venture with the makers of the Gran Turismo video game series. The aggressive and futuristic design language is continued inside with a generous use of metallic surfaces and an F1-inspired steering wheel that appears set up to display information. There doesn't appear to be a typical gauge cluster, making us wonder if the GT uses some sort of heads-up display integrated into the wraparound windshield. The entire setup, in keeping with the Gran Turismo theme, is driver-focused. galleryPost('GTbyCitroenInterior', 8, 'Can You Control Your Inner Dragon?'); galleryPost('gtbycitroenlive', 6, 'GT By Citroen - Live And In The Video Flesh');

The teasing is done — Citroën just revealed their new concept car, unofficially called the " Citroen GT " and officially called "GTbyCITROËN," here at the Paris Auto Show and it's hot - it's also supposedly the first car "specifically designed to bring the virtual and real worlds together." What's that mean? Well, apparently visitors to the show can actually drive the car in a true to life simulator on the Citroën stand. But that's not the cool part. The cool part is that it's a joint venture between Citroën and Polyphony, the makers of Gran Turismo. And it sure looks it. Hit the jump for the press release. galleryPost('gtbycitroenlive', 9, 'GT By Citroen - Live And In The Video Flesh'); galleryPost('gtbycitroenpress', 6, 'GT By Citroen'); GTbyCITROËN: TAKING SPORTSCAR DESIGN INTO A NEW DIMENSION The amazing GTbyCITROËN is the first ever car to be specifically designed to bring the virtual and real worlds...

It's time for today's flash of Citroen side-boob as the French automaker teases us with yet another glimpse of the GT Concept set to debut at the Paris Motor Show next month. Here we have a rear three-quarter shot showing knife-edge taillights, a continuation of the gaping lower-body ductwork and some pretty meaty looking decklid gills. We'll go ahead and draw the logical conclusion that Citroen's supercar has a mid-mounted engine — we're just not sure what kind. Judging by those huge lower vents, we're thinking gas turbine. Huge, afterburning gas turbine. [via WCF ]

Citroen has decided to get in on the slow teaser reveal with its GT concept, scheduled to debut at the Paris Motor Show next month, followed by an as-reported appearance in Gran Turismo Prologue on PS3. We know it's a car and it's white — and that's about the extent of things. Well, that's not entirely true. Based on the car's profile and front air dam, it almost looks like our favorite modified Nova , but we're confident the staid draftsmen at Citroen wouldn't go for any kind of crazy styling shenanigans . galleryPost('citroengtteaser', 3, 'Citroen GT Concept'); [ eGMCarTech ]
