Pete Norris must have watch too many Transformer movies, because his Citroen Taranis concept certainly looks like it is straight out of one of Michael Bay's films. The off-road racer comes with electric motors on each wheel hub, meaning a total of four on the monstrous racer. The long-legged two-seat Taranis features gullwing doors and a laser-light dashboard. Set in a futuristic photo shoot, the off-roader is equipped with a double-jointed wheel setup with double-jointed front swing arms that give the car a very tight turning radius.
The name Taranis connotates either a Tyrannosaurus Rex or a tarantula, however Norris says it is neither. It was named after the Celtic god of thunder who apparently carries a thunderbolt in one hand and a wheel in the other. Check out the photos and lets us know what you think about the futuristic Taranis designed by Pete Norris.
