2006 Citroen seems to save its best concept cars for its home Paris Show and this year it has unveiled a beauty. The C-Métisse Concept will be seen in the flesh for the first time at the 2006 Paris Motor Show.

With its elegant proportions, flamboyant bodywork and spectacular door design, the C-Métisse is an elegant 4-seater 4-door coupe reminiscent of the most prestigious Grand Touring vehicles. The car has a high-performance diesel hybrid drivetrain, excellent aerodynamics and a weight of just 1400 kilograms complete with batteries. C-Métisse is based on the same future-oriented solution as the C4 HDi hybrid demonstration vehicle apart from one key difference: the electric motors are installed in the rear wheels. Looking at C-Métisse is a visual shock in itself. Long (4.74 m), wide (2 m) and low (1.24 m), the car is sculptural and almost intimidating.
