Citroen GT Concept now available in GT5 Prologue

Polyphony's Gran Turismo 5 Prologue is about to get a pretty substantial upgrade. The next time you boot up your Playstation 3, an update will be available for GT5 that will add the GT by Citroen, Ferrari's new California and the Lotus Evora. Lotus fans got a sneak peek into the Evora's GT5 inclusion at the British Motor Show a few weeks back, and now everybody gets to join in on the aluminum-intensive fun. It's always a pleasure to strap yourself in a Ferrari, in real-life or virtually, and the California is the latest Italian Stallion around, so its addition was a foregone conclusion. The biggest news, though, is the new French GT, which its maker says was "a partnership between Citroën and Polyphony." In the game-realm, the new GT concept will be powered by electrons generated from a hydrogen fuel cell. Even if the technology isn't quite ready for prime time in your driveway, it can always make waves in digital form, running around various race tracks while emitting nothing but water.

Citroen C3 Picasso ripping off Kia Soul, Renault Twingo ripping off Kia Morning and now this ripping off the Kia Kee. A lot of French companies ripping off Kia.

Citroen is the company with the history and tradition. KIA is just a copycat Korean company trying to break into any and all markets.

That's why French car companies failed and had to pull out of the US. And are you comparing Kia now from 10 years ago? BTW, Kia are doing well in Europe and won a lot of prizes with the Kia C'eed. Maybe the French saw Korean success and decided to copy their models. I also forgot to mention that Peugeot Prologue Concept ripped off from Kia C'eed LMFAO

And also French cars are not known for their qualities.

OK, keep in mine the Koreans are ripping off the Germans. Some are very well copied too. *NO OFFENSE TO ANY KOREAN AUTOBLOG USERS* but they do have a tendency to copy things from other countries. For instance language, i just read an article how the Koreans wanted to claim the traditional Chinese writing as theirs when China's history stretches back a couple of thousand year, and theirs only ... a few hundred... Back to the cars, its pretty well known they copy other designs. In terms of creative talents, the French definitely have more.

What? Are you on drugs? Koreans don't claim anything qinese theirs, besides a Korean president banned qinese character long time ago.

Too bad Prologue doesn't have a car damage. I'd smash this turd into a tree.

The Citroen looks like a really great looking car struggling to emerge from a cacoon.

Someone needs to lend me $500 for a PS3. And by "lend" I mean give me.

YOu'll also want to be asking for 1,400,000 in game credits as these cars are EXPENSIVE.
Citronen=1,000,000cr(Same as the Ferrari F1 car)
Ferrari=300,000cr
Lotus=100,000cr
This is a great way to look at new concepts though. It even comes with a loading screen of 3 big rigs delivering the cars to your game.

finally got and the California's V-8 sounds sweet! but 1million cr. for the Citroen? maybe there needs to be a bailout for GT5

Some aspects of the Citroen do look awesome...but.. in my opinion i wouldn't consider it as a sleek, beautiful car. Its too busy. Although some details and curves look real nice, but when I look at the entire car.... I instantly got the impression that lots of designers designed various parts with out thinking too much about how the car will look as a whole. Thats what i think anyway. Bak to GT5, getting a PS3 soon, so should be able to lay my hands on those cars soon.
