Its a real car, though how much like a real car it is, i cant imagine it having its own engine, surely that will be pinched from something else, maybe the 3.0 V6? Suspension, well it looks kind of hard so i bet thats fairly limited.

So i cant imagine its much like a production version, though i have seen the London video (posted on here very recently) and it does look quite good, hate the back styling though.

The engine is a 5.5L Ford V8. There are six examples produced at a cost of (IIRC) £4M each.

The Photoshop thing might come from the film of the car being driven through London being spliced in with footage from the game.

The car was designed for a computer game - something like GTA, but as a functional car (hydrogen powered) then translated by Citroen designers into a road-going real car. It is only a concept with no plans to mass produce it.

Well here's that very thread, but regarding the "photoshoped" comment, I am not guilty of any "sudgested" ion like that, as it seemed in the street scenes that it was the real thing with a V8! 8)
