The Citroen GT Concept has been designated to debut at the Frankfurt Auto Show in its road-ready version. The latest news talks about how only 6 specimens will be available, and especially about the sky-high price of 1.3 million Euros. As if this weren’t enough, instead of the futuristic hydrogen fuel cell engine of the prototype, we’ll probably find it equipped with a Ford V8 engine with 500 hp, combined with automatic transmission and paddles on the steering wheel.

The aesthetics will be entirely identical to the prototype, including its elaborate and futuristic interior, which, at the Paris Auto Show, had left both the public and car dealers alike speechless. The prototype was designed by Takumi Yamamoto for the latest version of the Gran Turismo video game for Sony Playstation 3.
