GTbyCITROËN Concept Takes Vacation Along Gran Turismo 5 London Course

If you’ve ever been to London, you’ll recognize every place in this photoset, taken when the GTbyCITROËN concept car hit the streets recreating a course from Gran Turismo 5 and generally doing the tourist thing.

The GTbyCITROËN is the sting ray inspired stunner which debuted at the Paris Motor Show after its digital unveil as a car in Playstation’s Gran Turismo 5. It made the rounds at all the famous London hot spots like any tourist does, and no-doubt got stuck in the hideous central London traffic. The car will be making its formal UK debut this weekend when it takes a spin at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, also known as this weekends happiest place on Earth.
