GQbyCitroen: Another Notable Citroen Concept
By Chris Weiss
A European concept car trying to emulate the image of man put forth by GQ magazine? Sounds pretty douchey to me. Yet, looking at the GQbyCitroen, it’s anything but.
Citroen designer Mark Lloyd describes the design as thus: “Where this car works so well with GQ is that it fits with the current attitudes of conspicuous consumption. It is understated rather than in-your-face, sleek rather than macho.” I don’t know that a car this dashing can ever be understated, but it’s definitely a hot car in a sleek, noble sort of way.
After running your hand along the smooth exterior for a moment, you’re probably wondering what’s going on underneath. The GQbyCitroen packs a hybrid powertrain with 1.6-liter gas engine and electric motor that lays way to a 4.5-second 0 to 62 mph dash and 155 mph top speed. The car will debut in London this week and will be featured in GQ’s April issue. We’ll get more details then. [via Carscoop and Motor Report]
