So maybe it's a good thing that this ridiculous yet awe-inducing "Snaefell" fit a whole 2-seater car on the side of a bike.

It's the product of 10 years and $20,000 worth of custom work, a combination of a Kawasaki 1000 RX the and a Citroën Xantia...along with who knows what else (though Laverda is name-dropped, too). And it reminds us how wonderful the world would be if only more of our transportation were designed by the M.A.S.K. team. [Snaefell via Auto Motto via DVICE]

<![CDATA[Citroen Announces PSP Edition SUV, to Only Run on Proprietary Sony Gas]]> Get excited, European Sony and SUV fans! Citroen's new C-Crosser PSP Edition SUV is designed with you in mind. Both of you.

The limited edition vehicle comes with a big PSP sticker on the back to let everyone know how much of a fanboy you are. In addition, you get a black PSP (because someone buying a PSP Edition car doesn't already have one), 2 games, a 4GB Memory Stick PRO Duo and a head mount that allows people in the back seat to watch those super-popular UMD movies while you drive.

The price for this package? Well, it starts at €33,990 ($43,340). Yeah, I'm sure it'll sell like hotcakes. [Zer Customs via Engadget]

<![CDATA[Your Citroen C4 is Not Optimus Prime]]> You can watch this commercial all day long. You can load up YouTube and play it for your coworkers. You can even rip the video and convert it to play on your PMP of choice. But it won't make your shitty hatchback into an epic 80s superhero. Sorry. Not gonna happen. And this isn't even the first time we've seen Citreon fabricate such lies. They ran a similar spot back in 2006.

But last time, they weren't cruel enough to bring disco into the mix. Citroen, take it back.

Don't say you're sorry to us; say it to the Autobots. [autoblog]

<![CDATA[Video of Chinese Citroen Transformer Shows off Its Size]]> Remember yesterday's photos of the Citroen that a couple of Chinese guys lovingly turned into a Transformer ? Our sister site Jalopnik has uncovered a news report of the cut-and-shunt-it-into-something-altogether-more-wondrous-than-a-Citroen leviathan and Bloody Norah is the bugger big. [Jalopnik]

<![CDATA[Citroën Ad Makes a Giant Rubik's Cube Out of Cars]]> This Citro&#235;n ad combines three things that dorks like us have a soft spot for: Rubik's Cubes, flashy special effects and environmentally-sound cars. Sure, it doesn't really go into any detail about the car itself, but we'll let it slide this time. [ViaComIT via NOTCOT.org]

<![CDATA[Citroen C-Metisse Diesel Hybrid Sports Car: Fast and Furiously Responsible]]> Our hybrid fetish lives on, especially for the Citroen C-Metisse Diesel Hybrid Sports Car that'll be rolled out at this year's International Motor Show in Paris. This four-door rocket is powered by a 205hp diesel V-6 engine and two electric motors, one on each rear wheel. That combo delivers pretty good numbers, too: 0-to-62 mph in 6.2 seconds at a top speed of 155mph, all the while sipping the fuel at just 42 miles per gallon.

While we probably won't be seeing a car like this on these shores or anywhere else anytime soon—yeah, it's a concept car—these design exercises will likely bear fruit somewhere, somehow. Plus, we're really digging those four gull-wing doors, inviting a quartet of lucky riders to jump in and hit the triple miles-per-hour digits. Someday. But for today, check out more pics after the jump.
