Next level. The GT by Citroen makes the leap from screen, the virtual world of videouegos to the reality of the streets of Madrid. We climbed aboard one of the most spectacular two-seater sports moment. Doors with opening mechanism elytra or insectoid type, impressive aesthetic lines, aerodynamic resources more applicable to the aerospace ...
and we received the GT by Citroen in the central Calle de Velázquez. Crowds of pedestrians thronged around him. Photos, videos, reviews, admiring faces ... the French supercar was not lost on his visit to Madrid. Its breathtaking action and are all a claim to stare at him. The first thing that stands out is his short height, barely rising 1.09 m above the ground.
His 2.08 m wide and nearly five meters in length and are all a track around the virtual universe that hides inside. We approached him and began to look closely at its futuristic body made of fiberglass and carbon. The impact on us back way, with an air diffuser and a skirt whose sinuous forms reminiscent of the typical spaceships Star Wars ...
What about footwear? Alloy wheels 21 inches in diameter mounted on a tire of 245/35 front and 295/35 steps back. Opened its doors y. .. Surprise! Darth Vader was not in the interior. We bend a lot to access the cockpit, the difficult access, but perhaps his only. We settled into Bacquet leather seats equipped with safety harnesses six anchors and began to examine in detail the lavish interior.
Dashboard plated copper and steel with three-dimensional effect, a separate tunnel between the driver and passenger which houses all the controls, since they are able to handle the management of engine power, sound settings, suspension, wipers , lights, etc., - and a steering wheel so flat on top and bottom of a car-like F-1 are the main elements that make up its interior.
It's time to start our game, sorry, starting to move. A start button leads to a tremendous roar. The GT by Citroen in the real world has nothing to do with the version that appears in the Gran Turismo 5, at least as far as mechanics are concerned. In fiction, the French supercar will only emit the hissing sound characteristic of an electric car, being driven by an electric motor of about 800 HP that uses electricity generated by a hydrogen fuel cell.
Asked the engineer who sat beside us and we will not detail the type of propellant, but by the huge roar, it sounds like V10. 'Maybe', says our companion. We continue accumulating miles. The GT by Citroen remained the center of attention in the streets of the capital. A pity that only we could taste it in an urban route, because this vehicle promises a potential that can be squeezed only with total freedom and fun in a circuit, its true natural habitat.
The only real drive of this supercar shows ways and ways to go! to become one of the most impressive car of the moment. That tremble Lamborghini, Ferrari and Aston Martin because they may have a tough rival in the coming years. Officially, the French firm has ruled it to be marketed, but well informed sources have told us that there are car collectors are very interested in it, with production limited to no more than 20 units.
Again, the thin line between the unreal and the real returns to be almost imperceptible. Meanwhile, we will continue to accumulate hours in front of the PlayStation to enjoy driving. What do you think? Leave your comments, the most interesting will be published in the journal Hwy. Alternatively, this news debate on our forums.
