Check out Citroen's flamboyant C-Metisse Concept, a 4-seater 4-door hybrid coupe that revives the spirit of Grand Touring vehicles. Design aside, the most important feature of the C-Metisee is a diesel hybrid powertrain that could very well find its way into production in the near future.
It combines a diesel combustion engine, PSA Peugeot - Citroen's 208 Hp V6 HDi DPFS, mated to a 6-speed automatic gearbox that drives the front wheels & two electric motors in the rear wheels, each developing torque of 400 Nm with output of 20 Hp. As a result, C-Metisse boasts a 0 to 100 km/h (62mph) sprint in 6,2 sec with a combined cycle consumption of just 6.5 litres/100 km
