The design of GTbyCITROEN reflects a quest for optimal aerodynamic design. The show-car is a vehicle of flowing, taut lines, stretched to the extreme. GTbyCITROËN is a style replica of a vehicle from the digital world. The car is the result of
a partnership between Citroën and Polyphony, designer of the driving simulation game Gran Turismo 5 on Playstation 3.The two-seater GTbyCITROEN is designed to inspire speed and power, with an oversized rear-end, dynamic styling, sculpted lines and sharp graphics.The cabin of GTbyCITROEN,designed to seat two adults, expresses the grand touring vision behind this show-car. The on-board ambience allies premium, extensively worked materials with a more high-tech effect for the driving position. Although I highly doubt that the new GTbyCITROEN Concept will ever make into the real world. Looking beyond its taut, dynamic lines, this racing car features innovative equipment such as enlarged air intakes at the front, a flat underside, and a mobile spoiler and air diffuser at the rear.

The layout of the low driving position was dictated by driving pleasure. The aim is for the driver to be able to concentrate on the road, assisted by a head-up display clearly displaying driving information.To promote maximum concentration, the driver of GTbyCITROEN has a head-up display for driving information. Using red LEDs, this system projects key driving information – such as speed and navigation data – onto the windscreen in the driver's direct line of vision. The mid-engine concept measures 4.96m in length, 2.08m in length, and only 1.09m in height, being about half a meter longer and ten centimeters wider than the famous Bugatti Veyron. It is about 10cm lower, though.
