Citroen’s Playstation Gran Turismo 5 Concept Car

Crossing the boundaries between the real and virtual world, Citroen created a life-sized concept car of the GTbyCITROEN that will be available on the eagerly anticipated Playstation Gran Turismo 5 video game. The five-meter long concept car makes its global premiere at the Paris Motor Show where visitors can actually drive the car in a true to life simulator on Citroen’s stand. In the game, the GTbyCITROEN will be equipped with an electric drive train powered by a fuel cell. -Continued

Kazanori Yamauchi, President of Polyphony Digital Inc and creator of Gran Turismo, commented, “GTbyCITROEN shows how the worlds of virtual and real-life motoring can join together to create a truly innovative partnership. To see the GTbyCITROËN take shape in our game studios and then for real has been a truly unique experience - as our work normally stays in the digital world.”

We’ll have real-life photos of the GT concept from Citroen’s Paris Show booth later in the day, but until then enjoy the image gallery below.
