Citroën C-Métisse

Automobiles

The Citroën C-Métisse is a concept car built by the French maker Citroën together with the coachbuilder Stola and first shown at the Paris Motor Show in the autumn of 2006. It was designed as a five-door 2+2 shooting brake, a low and long four-seat coupe with gull-wing front doors and rear doors that rotate open. Its purpose was to show that a hybrid car can match the performance of a petrol or diesel car. A 2.7 litre V6 diesel drives the front wheels and two electric motors in the rear wheels give four-wheel drive when needed, with a carbon fibre body keeping the weight to about 1,400 kilograms including batteries. Citroën quoted a top speed of 155 miles per hour and a time of 6.2 seconds from rest to 62 miles per hour. It was built as a concept and shown to the public as a design study.
