The Citroën C-Métisse is a concept car which was produced by the car manufacturer Citroën in collaboration with coachbuilder Stola.[1] It was first introduced in the autumn of 2006 at the Paris Motor Show.[2] 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.

The car is designed as a five-door 2+2 shooting brake. The first official pictures were revealed in September 2006.[3] This is not the first time that Citroën has produced a hybrid car; in January 2006, they revealed the hybrid-powered version of the Citroën C4 alongside the hybrid-powered Peugeot 307.[4] The car can use front-wheel, rear-wheel and all-wheel drive depending on the situation.
