PSA Peugeot Citroën's new premium brand has blended avant-garde styling and cutting-edge technology in an all-electric, two-seat GT concept car. The car is called the E-Tense and it highlights the best in French design.

The voluptuous E-Tense features a single 402-hp electric motor wired to a lithium-ion battery pack mounted on the underside of the carbon monocoque chassis. That motor puts out 381 lb-ft (516 Nm) of torque and powers the sporty two-door from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 4.5 seconds, on up to a top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h). The battery offers up to 224 miles (360 km) of city driving or about 193 miles (310 km) of mixed driving.

The DS badge, which was formally split from Citroën into a standalone brand a year ago, has appeared on some interesting and unique concept cars in the past (see the Divine DS from Paris 2014), and the E-Tense follows that formula. A sculpture of curves and carves, the striking "metallic green ametrine" car has bulging, three-dimensional fenders slashed open by vents behind the front wheels and cavernous intakes behind the doors.
