The French firm really did pull out a few surprises at its home show. The cool C3 Picasso looks fantastic and finally Citroen has managed to make interior plastics that feel substantial. It is the concepts that really impress in Paris though: the Hypnos is a strange SUV-coupé type machine and the GTbyCitroen concept an absolute show stopper. Very much corporate posturing rather than a serious look at a production model, the GT concept will be available to drive in pixelated form in the next Gran Turismo console game.
