Citroën has confirmed it will build six examples of a $2.1 million GT supercar based on the automaker’s design for the PS3 game Gran Turismo 5, according to the New York Times.

The two-seater GT will feature gull-wing doors and a carbon fiber body. Chances are it won’t include a real version of the virtual powertrain in the PS3 car: a 646 horsepower hydrogen fuel cell with an overboost function that generated 138 extra horsepower on demand. “That ultra high-tech powertrain will remain video-game fantasy,” according to the report, although few details are available at this point.

Citroën will debut the GT at the Frankfurt auto show later this year.
