Citroen will display two very special vehicles at this year's Festival of Speed at Goodwood in Britain.
A replica of the Citroen Xsara WRC, as driven by Colin McRae in the 2003 World Rally Championship, will be showcased alongside 10 other significant vehicles from the late rally champion's career.
This will form part of a special tribute to the Scottish racing legend.
Citroen also will display its concept supercar, the C-Metisse, which features an aviation-inspired cockpit, gull-wing doors and fighter jet-style roof controls.
Debuted at the Paris Motor Show in 2006, it showed that a high-performance car also could be green.
It is capable of a top speed of 250km/h, sips fuel at 6.2 litres per 100km and emits 174g/km of CO2 thanks to its three drivetrains, economical 155kw V6 HDi diesel engine, plus two separate electric motors on the rear wheels to develop an additional 400Nm of torque and allow the car to run in Zero Emission Vehicle Mode.
The specially designed carbon fibre body reduces the car's total weight to just 1400kg including the batteries, enabling the C-Metisse to hit 0-100km/h in 6.2sec.
A boost function activated under heavy acceleration engages the electric motors to combine with the combustion engine, enhancing the power and performance without increasing the fuel consumption.
The Goodwood Festival of Speed runs from July 11-13.
