French carmaker + tailor + men magazine = gorgeous concept

What happens when a French carmaker teams up with a top men’s magazine and a prestigious tailor house? Well…gorgeous concept cars are born! GQbyCITROËN took the French sexyness, appealingness of GQ men and Savile Row tailors style. And judging by the GQbyCITROËN concept, the fashionable fellas know a few things about svelte car design, as well. The GQbyCITROËN concept is a collaboration between Dylan Jones, GQ’s editor, and Mark Lloyd, a British designer who is most recently credited for the new Citroën DS3.
