이유인즉슨, 백만달라로 가격이 책정 되었었는데, 그만한 가격으로도 회사 이익이 커다란 기여를 못줄것으로 판단, 그시간에 다른걸 하는편이 오히려 날것이라는 결론,
을 내렸다는 군요.

뭐 어디까지나 자동차 매뉴펙쳐러가 빠지는 딜레마 입니다. 현대도 비슷한 이유로 하이엔드 쿱/스포츠 카를 양산하지 않고 있는 실정이지요.
회사가 어느정도 규모에 이르렀을때나 고부가가치 슈퍼카를 만들었을때, 금전적으로나, 상징적으로나 의미가 있을법 합니다.

씨트로엥 GT가 1백만불에 년마다 10대 팔리면 많이 팔리는거긴 할꺼 같네요;; 맥러렌이 5년동안 100대를 판매했다고 하니.

Sad news: remember the Polyphony Digital-designed supercar, the Citroën GT? After it was first revealed in an update to GT5 Prologue, it was widely publicized and praised in the media as the physical prototype made its way around the world at various car shows and events. It even floated around Venice, and this video I uploaded to YouTube (also embedded below) of the car driving around the streets of London has received more than 1.5 million views.

There was so much interest in the car, Citroën actually decided to build it. Despite its popularity, though, it wasn’t meant to be, as the latest reports (thanks for the tip, paskowitz!) confirm production has been cancelled. The reasons cited for dropping the car are not surprising: although the GT was expected to be priced north of ?1 million, it wouldn’t have been profitable enough for the company, which has decided to focus its time and resources on other models that will “bring in more money”.

Fortunately, the car will live on in GT and should make for a great subject in GT5’s Photomode. For now, enjoy these shots taken by GTPlanet user, Jamie, from the car’s showing at the Goodwood Festival of Speed (don’t miss his full set on Flickr). Editors from PistonHeads also got to drive the car at the event, and you can read their very interesting write up on the whole experience right here.
