This is one I'm glad didn't get further than just one (surviving) prototype. There's even a video!

No idea what Citroen thought of this!

Some other interesting oddities on the site, too.

I have posted about this before Chris, although I had not seen that particular website account of the car. It was interesting to hear that a prototype still exists and I think the car actually had a 12v V6 engine! I also wonder how Citroen viewed the project! Regards, Matthew T.

This is where I usually step in and go against those amongst you who cannot tolerate modification from the original design.
Not today, it looks like an airfix kit of a Sierra at the front which has been hurriedly assembled by a very young child and the rest is all wrong, there does seem to be some good gadgets controlled by a central interface, is this radar cruise control we are looking at? And memory seats. Snice!
