GTbyCitroen coming to the Frankfurt Motor Show

Of the many Citroen vehicles that will be introduced in next week’s Frankfurt Motor Show, the GTbyCitroen is one of the most highly anticipated. The concept was first displayed at last year’s Paris Auto Show and will soon enter production. It’s very exclusive and in fact, only 6 units of the GTbyCitroen will be rolled off the assembly lines.

According to our sources, Citroen is selling each unit for 1.5 million euros (around $2.1 million). Only a little is actually known when it comes to its specifications. A report earlier this year by a Citroen insider said that he production form of GTbyCitroen will have many of the features available on the concept, including most of the carbon fiber-made parts and interior details. The engine that will be used has not been confirmed yet however, company’s head Vincent Besson initially hinted that the company will choose a V8 unit designed by either Ford or General Motors. Expected output will be at least 500 horsepower, with a manual gearbox likely to make the final production version. The reason for the borrowed engine is actually obvious; it would be too expensive to build a new engine, especially for a limited edition of only six units.
