About the Citroen C-Metisse Matte Black Norev 1:18

TL;DR: The Norev Citroen C-Metisse 1:18 diecast reproduces the hybrid diesel-electric coupe concept Citroen unveiled in the mid-2000s to explore future design language and powertrain direction. Finished in matte black, it represents a distinctly forward-looking Citroen subject, a strong fit for a modern or concept-car collection rather than a classic-era display.

Citroen used the C-Metisse to test both a bold new coupe silhouette and a diesel-electric hybrid powertrain, a combination meant to signal where the brand's design and engineering thinking was heading in the mid-2000s.

A Modern Concept Rendered in Matte Finish

Concept cars rarely reach diecast production at all, since low-volume prototype subjects offer limited commercial appeal compared with established production models, so a well-made C-Metisse reproduction gives collectors access to a genuinely uncommon subject. Norev's model captures the car's long, low coupe proportions and sharply sculpted surfacing, details that distinguished it clearly from Citroen's production lineup at the time. Matte black suits a concept vehicle's experimental character well, a finish choice that reads as deliberately modern rather than a conventional gloss paint job. Because concept cars typically exist as one-off or very limited prototypes, this diecast represents the closest most collectors will ever get to examining the C-Metisse's specific design details.

A Forward-Looking Piece for a Modern Citroen Shelf

Displayed beside more historically significant Citroens like the DS or Traction Avant, the C-Metisse tells a different kind of story, one about where the brand imagined its own future rather than where its reputation was already built. For a collector interested specifically in concept and show cars, this piece offers a rare glimpse into Citroen's design thinking during a period when hybrid powertrains were still a genuinely novel idea for a mainstream European manufacturer. Norev's willingness to produce this kind of niche subject reflects its broader commitment to covering Citroen's full range, extending the brand's story past nostalgia and into genuine forward-looking engineering exploration.
