Polyphony’s Gran Turismo 5 Prologue is about to get a pretty substantial upgrade. The next time you boot up your Playstation 3, an update will be available for GT5 that will add the GT by Citroen, Ferrari’s new California and the Lotus Evora. Lotus fans got a sneak peek into the Evora’s GT5 inclusion at the British Motor Show a few weeks back, and now everybody gets to join in on the aluminum-intensive fun. It’s always a pleasure to strap yourself in a Ferrari, in real-life or virtually, and the California is the latest Italian Stallion around, so its addition was a foregone conclusion. The biggest news, though, is the new French GT, which its maker says was “a partnership between Citroën and Polyphony.” In the game-realm, the new GT concept will be powered by electrons generated from a hydrogen fuel cell. Even if the technology isn’t quite ready for prime time in your driveway, it can always make waves in digital form, running around various race tracks while emitting nothing but water.

Citroen has let slip another drip in the GT by Citroen reveal, and this time it’s a video showing off the dramatic shapes of “The Drive of Your Life.” Dig those mirrors, and the glasshouse swept back in monumental fashion. Whatever is pushing the car’s massive rims apparently needs a lot of air, with two raked scoops behind the canopy and two more on the sides ahead of the rear wheels. And the rear end of the car looks like — dare we say it — a tail… It’s Mach 5 if the car comes together like we expect, or platypus if it doesn’t. The Paris Motor Show reveal is in but a few days, and you can mark us down as officially excited. Check out the video after the jump and more teaser pics in the gallery below. Thanks for the tip, Nick!

More intensity: 4th Citroen GT teaser image

The cloak on the GT by Citroen has been pulled back again to reveal a little more sheetmetal. Call us crazy, but we have the feeling this car is going to put the “Whoa, that’s wild…” back into concept cars. This little corner shows off two vastly different personalities: look at the center structure and it could be any pleasant Frenchmobile — a 2CV even; scan out to the sides, and it’s got the kind of vicious appendages of a predator. Then there’s that diffuser hanging out there like an arctic steppe, mirrors that are 18 inches long, and a tapered rear end that can’t possibly stay planted without some aero aid on scaffolding. For all we know, the car could be hiding nine or ten other personalities, as well. We can’t wait to see it.
