Citroën have developed a fully functioning race-spec version of its show-stopping Survolt electric car concept (from this year’s Geneva Motorshow), the steel-tube framed, carbon fibre bodied electric racer has a Formula 1 inspired flat underbody with a chunky rear diffuser and the twin electric motors reportedly turn out just over 300hp.
