Citroen has said it plans to build six production versions of its PlayStation-turned-to-reality GTbyCitroen supercar concept and will sell that at a bargain price of £1.1 million.
The awesome supercar will drive up the hill five times throughout the weekend so keep an eye out for it. Five-time FIA World Rally Champion, Sebastien Loeb will complete the hill course in his C4 WRC on Saturday morning, with a second run that afternoon. He will also make a number of runs through the purpose-built Forest Rally.
The Citroen stand will feature a custom-built C6 Pallas - created by designer Darren Horton - the new C5 Saloon, the C-Cactus Concept, the new C3 Picasso and a Special Edition C4 by Loeb.
