CITROEN MAY BUILD BOLD SUPERCAR







Citroen may send the GTbyCitroen concept into production, according to the UK auto rag Autocar.



The paper says Citroen has given the super car the go-ahead and may produce an ultra-limited run of about 20. It first appeared in public at the 2008 Paris Motor Show but no one really thought Citroen would even consider building it, what with these tough economic times and all. But the French are truly in a sporting mood. While the concept car looks wild and boastful, don't expect a production version to be this bold.



Recently it’s been reported that Citroen is reintroducing the DS Line of cars which will move it up the scale in terms of mass manufacturing. Consider the DS Line as a sort of upper-crust Citroen, a range of cars which can compete with the likes of Audi and Cadillac. Citroen is part of the PSA Group which is made up of that brand and Peugeot. Under this new strategy Citroen will take a few steps up while Peugeot takes care of the mass market at the bottom end.
