2005 Citroen Alien C2 VTR
Having worked for a sport compact mag in the past I'm well aware of the UK's rather odd taste when it comes to modifying. Nothing I've seen embodies this taste more than Citroen's Alien C2 VTR show car, developed by the folks at SQ Plus, which is worth as much as a Ferrari 360 Modena and loaded with pretty much every product in the Alpine catalogue: 20 speakers, 8 subs, and 11 amps pumping 15,780 watts of audaucious audio. Unique mods include a single center seat made possible by the removal of the transmission tunnel and airbrushed paint job. While my past has forced me to appreciate a good show car, this one's a little over the top for my taste. It looks vaguely like those Sentinels that nearly destroyed Zion in The Matrix movies, which means I'm not going near it without charging an EMP blast.

Anyone got a picture of that car that hasn't been horribly customized? It seems like there's a nice looking car underneath, trying to get out.

Sentinals? Feh. It's fairly obviously inspired by H.R. Giger's art - the guy who did the designs for the original "Alien" movie back in '79. Check the supplied link on my name.
Bizarre mod, regardless. :P

In an episode of Rides they showed how Alpine and Pioneer did the exact same, for the SEMA show. They used a BMW X3 and a Scion TC and completely transformed them. On the X3 they made the doors slide out of the side and attached the seats to them.

Now that is too cool. Over the top? No way! I like it, I like it a lot.

Awesome job on the outside. Although it is strictly a show car, moving the seat and putting in all that speaker power is way too extreme. I'm sure you spent a Ferrari's worth of dough, but honestly, do you think anyone would pay that price for it?

I like the idea of having a color glow out from behind the wheels. anyone know where I can find info on such a setup? i checked streetglow.com but didn't see much about lights that go behind the wheels.

This car was shown on BBC's Top Gear about two months back. The entire dashboard is just monitors, no dials! And LCD monitors cover the back windows, facing outward. Forward facing exhausts in the front bumper. But like it says, it's just for show...
