The dash doesn't look right for a Xantia so it may all be trickery using
Photoshop although I can't really see why anyone would go to the bother
unless it's part of an elaborate hoax/scam or something...

Nice if it does exist!

Citroen Xantia '94 X1 2.0iVSX/BMW 325i hybride

It's a photoshop alright.

Here are the two "donors":

Not that surprised really. I spend all day using Photoshop for my
job, although I just couldn't see the point in doing this unless it's
to practice/show off your skills in the programme. Clean job
without the usual telltale traces.

Photoshop or not, it does look very tasty.

What a shame Citroen never marketed the Xantia Coupe concept. A two door Activa Coupe would have been ace.

Apparantly it was too near to the 406 coupe

It doesn't look anything like a 406coupe, nearly the same car, same engines etc, but looks wise the normal guy wouldn't have been able to know.

A V6 manual activa softop (4x4 wouldn't have gona amiss either) would have gone down quite well in the uk market, but i guess it would have been too much of a risk... to help the image they could have streamlined it a bit more too, like they did with the 406coupe.

It's about time citroen joined the super coupe market i think... to compete against the M3, etc! I'm sure they could do a worthy contender to an M3, it certainly wouldn't sell so well due to bmw's heritage with the m3 and citroens lack of experience in that field, but c'mon citroen... lets see what you are capable of. Make mad cars again!

I have been told but have no cite for it that the 406 coupe was actually a Citroen design that Puegeot snatched away from them.
