Citroen was founded in 1919 on Quai de Javel (now André Citroen) in the 15th arrondissement of Paris, not far from the Eiffel Tower. Its owner André Citroën was an adventurer and gambler, but thanks to his ability to negotiate with creditors, buy other people's patents and advertise his products, he became the largest automaker in Europe. At first, Citroen guessed to use gears with a pattern in the form of a double chevron, which in a stylized form is still the emblem of the Citroen brand today. He then borrowed the idea of assembly line assembly from Henry Ford, and when production reached 200 cars a day, he acquired a license from Edward Budd to make all-metal bodies. At the height of their fame, Citroen even put his name in large letters on the Eiffel Tower, judging this as a marketing ploy. However, in 1934, he made the mistake of investing huge amounts of money in the development of the innovative Traction Avant, equipped with a monocoque body and front-wheel drive. As a result, Andre Citroen lost everything, and his business was taken over by the Michelin brothers.

The GT by Citroen concept car is the first ever "virtual" car designed specifically for the video game Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. It was created by designer Takumi Yamamoto, a close friend of Polyphony Digital director and Gran Turismo sim creator Kazunori Yamauchi. Previously, Polyphony Digital has collaborated with Japanese parts manufacturers to simulate aerodynamic body kits for virtual tuning.

With the GT by Citroen project, the Japanese turned to Citroen chief designer Jean-Pierre Pluet, offering to implement it both digitally and in real form. The Citroen GT was first offered for track testing by Gran Turismo 5 Prologue players before a physical replica made its debut at the 2008 Paris Motor Show. The following year, Citroen announced plans to build 6 more of these machines and sell them for $2.1 million each. but this idea was soon abandoned.
