Citroen concept car gets driven around UK, impresses Londoners
French car maker Citroën drove its "GTbyCitroën" concept car from the perpetually "coming soon" Gran Turismo 5 around London streets recently. It toured the the real-life version of a street track from the game and, wouldn't you know it, people everywhere were going nuts. Busting out cameras, mouths agape staring while the car rumbled past -- it's as if they'd never seen such a purty car before.
Oh right! That's because they haven't ever seen the car before, because it's still a concept, unveiled at last year's Paris Auto Show as a collaboration between Polyphony Digital and Citroën. We have the full video after the break, but as you might imagine, it's not exactly nailing apexes and drafting opponents so much as slowly winding around pedestrian-filled British streets. With any luck, we'll have a more ... erm ... action-oriented video of the car soon for your viewing pleasure, as it'll be making an appearance at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this coming weekend.

Hell I don't even know what the hell everyone else is talking about, all I see is a car I want to import. That's going to be one hell of a destination charge.

It's safe to say that Citroen got hints on how to promote its product, from Mitsubishi (it was because of GT3A-spec that the EVO showed up IN AMERICA!).

I found her! Look at the left-uppermost corner. See the reflection of that shield sign? I'd bet you that's her.
Tim @ Jul 1st 2009 7:21PM
Forced meme or a promo?

Donation should be free though..
