Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Spawns Real-Life Car

Car Analogy Please writes to tell us that a new car unveiled at the Paris Auto Show was modeled after the Gran Turismo 5 Prologue car. GTbyCITROËN is the first car that has been designed in tandem with a video game to then spill out onto the actual pavement. "The GTbyCITROËN is the product of a partnership built up during the creation of Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. Takumi Yamamoto, from Citroen and Kazunori Yamauchi from Polyphony Digital Inc, the games developer were inspired by each others industries to design a concept car for the game that then flowed further into the real-world. The game version of the car mirrors the real-world performance of the concept."

that is the best-looking Citroen I have ever seen... it is still butt-ugly.

It looks like somebody took a Corvette Stingray, chopped up the front fenders with an axe for no good reason (Hey! You do NOT want to funnel air under the front tires! Duh!), then crossed it with a Lamborghini (the sides), and then stuck a newer Buick grille on the front.

Ugh.

If they intend to charge much money for it, it better have a nice ass.
