The Citroën Hypnos is a concept car presented by Citroën at the 2008 Paris Motor Show. It has a crossover body style and is powered by a diesel hybrid drivetrain with a rear axle-mounted electric motor. The car's most distinctive design feature is its interior, with rainbow-coloured, offset seats, and a system which analyzes the driver's face to gauge his state of mind and adjust the cabin lighting and scented air freshener fragrance in consequence.[1][2]
Citroen announced that diesel-hybrid engine would be available in all models by 2015.[3]
The concept car has appeared in several auto shows, including the 2011 Goodwood Festival of Speed.[4]
Some of the styling features of this car are appearing on the forthcoming Mitsubishi RVR-based Citroën C4 Aircross mini-SUV, available from the first half of 2012.
