GTbyCITROËN TO TACKLE GOODWOOD HILL
The striking GTbyCitroën supercar concept will make its UK
debut climbing the famous 1.16-mile Goodwood Hill at this year’s
Festival of Speed (3-5 July).
Getting in some practice for the Festival of Speed, GTbyCITROËN
has
been busy completing laps of honour at both the Nürburgring and
Le Mans
24 hour endurance races. The 2008 Louis Vuitton Classic Concept
Award
winner took to the Le Mans circuit this weekend with 150 cars
for the
famous parade lap.
The car first hit the headlines at the Paris Motorshow last
October
where the unique partnership between Citroën and Polyphony,
designer of
the driving simulation game Gran Turismo5 on the Playstation 3,
unveiled the real world replica of the digital vehicle.
Measuring nearly five-metres long (4.96m), and just over a metre
high
(1.09m), the GTbyCitroën is characterised by a large wraparound
windscreen which flows into the roof and on into the rear mobile
airfoil. The dynamic supercar feel is further enhanced by wide
air
intakes, a flat underside, rear air-diffuser, clear-cut
horizontal
headlamps, gullwing doors and diamond-effect 21 inch aluminium
wheels.
The GTbyCitroën will climb the Goodwood Hill as part of the
Sunday
Times Supercar Run.
Admission to the Goodwood Festival of Speed is by advance
ticket only. To order advance tickets, please contact the
