2010 Citroen GQ Concept

Citroën, in collaboration with British magazine GQ, had created the Citroen GQ Concept. This concept car was a result of taking a new looks at the GT theme and integrating it with a typical Citroën design approach to bring Citroën GQ Concept from design outline to concept reality.

Motorized by a plug-in Hybrid with a 1,598cc 4-cylinder direct injection petrol engine, the Citroën GQ Concept can accelerate from 0-60mph in just 4.5seconds. The GQ electronically limited top speed is 155mph with 80g/km of CO2 emissions. Thanks to the dynamic performance and environmental responsibility which were key requirements for the project.

Combining classically sophisticated features and contemporary styling, the Citroën GQ Concept came with a sculpted front end, rounded rear, strong body contours and sleek concave rear windscreen – a Citroën design signature.

Completing the car’s bespoke styling, the interior detailing and upholstery selections were provided by Patrick Grant, the Creative Director of prestigious Savile Row tailors, E.Tautz, who commented: “Savile Row is all about balance and Tautz’s simple military inspired interior is the perfect counterpoint to the Gallic flair of the exterior.”
