Citroen C-Metisse
It's sleek, sporty and red. But the high performance C-Metisse also is green -- in the environmentally friendly sense. The low-slung four-door concept shows off parent PSA/Peugeot-Citroen's hybrid diesel-electric powertrain technology. The C-Metisse is powered by a 208hp, 3.0-liter, V-6 diesel supported by electric motors in the rear wheels that offer 20hp and 400Nm of extra torque. The car's top speed is 250kph but at 50kph its fuel consumption is 6.5 liters per 100km and its CO2 emissions are 174 grams per kilometer, says Citroen. At low speeds, the car's electric motors can move the car, resulting in zero emissions.
