Is Citroen's Newest Concept GT a Car for a GQ

Hot damn. Is it just me, or accept contempo CitroГ«n concepts been some of the a lot of show-worthy artist cars in a while? GTbyCitroГ«n, absolutely stunning. The Survolt, absolutely fun to attending at and bethink about Ridge Racer or Cruis'n World. I even like the REVOLTe in a weird, this-isn't-right affectionate of way. And the next beholder is just about the bend.

Called the GQbyCitroГ«n, it's one of the best-looking GTs I've apparent in a while - sorry, BMW - and is the aftereffect of a activity led by GQ UK editor Dylan Jones.

The car's exoteric was bound by CitroГ«n's Mark Lloyd of DS3 acclaim (and his architecture team, naturally) while the autogenous is by Patrick Grant. Grant happens to be artistic administrator at E. Tautz, a Savile Row clothier and the abundance area I acquirement my linens.

According to Lloyd, "Where this car works so able-bodied with GQ is that it fits with the accepted attitudes of apparent consumption. It is chaste rather than in-your-face, glassy rather than macho."..
