Currently reading: Citroen GT supercar is for real

Virtual video concept car will make production

Citroen GT supercar concept is going to make production, the company's product czar Vincent Besson has confirmed.

Originally the GT was only ever going to feature virtually in the video game Gran Turismo 5 but according to Besson the concept's popularity has forced a rethink.

"We are now thinking of a limited run, possibly as many as 20 units," he told Autocar.

Besson wouldn't confirm when the real GTs may emerge or the exact technical specs, he did admit that power for the road going GT is likely to come from either a GM or Ford V8.
