The Citroën Metropolis proves that not even limousines are impervious to hybrid technology. They held out as long as they could.
The Citroën Metropolis is the first hybrid limo that I have ever heard of. Adding hybrid technology to a limo just seems to make sense though. The Citroën Metropolis has a V-6 gas engine delivering 272 bhp. The Citroën Metropolis has all the usual bells and whistles of a hybrid. My favorite sounding bell is the available AWD. Music to my ears. This eco-limo is set to debut at the Shanghai World Fair. Keep your eyes on the lookout.
