The 2006 Citroën C-Métisse was one of Citroën’s most dramatic modern concept cars: a low, wide, four-door grand tourer with a diesel-hybrid drivetrain and four upward-opening doors. It debuted at the 2006 Paris Motor Show and was designed to show that a hybrid did not have to look slow, awkward, or purely economy-focused.

A 220 hp V6 engine was mounted behind the seats and sent power to the rear wheels. The concept was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show as a showcase of the students’ engineering and design work.
