GQ by Citroen
This is the GQ by Citroen, a new concept from the French manufacturer designed to provide the ultimate gentleman's drive. The new car comes with a new plug-in hybrid powertrain, featuring a 1.6-liter four-cylinder petrol engine. Don't think that the car is lazy because is not: it can sprint from 0 to 60 mph (96 km/h) in 4.5 seconds and has a top speed electronically limited to 155 mph (250 km/h). Regarding the CO2 emissions, the concept emits only 80g/km. As you figured it out, the car has been created by Citroen and GQ magazine, but it is only a concept and will remain one because the French manufacturer has no plans to produce this car.
It was designed by to a brief set out by GQ editor Dylan Jones and created by a design team headed by Mark Lloyd, also known as DS3 creator.
"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 and sleek rather than too macho." said Mark Lloyd. "The GQ car needed to have the "want" factor, but it also needed to look, feel and drive like the sort of car no sane man could choose to ignore. We think it looks very special." added Jones.
