Citroën C-Métisse

The Citroën C-Métisse is a concept car which was produced by the car manufacturer Citroën. It was first introduced in the autumn of 2006 at the Paris Motor Show.[1] It has been stated that the reason for creating such a car was to show that any hybrid car can have the same performance as any petrol or diesel-powered car.
