Alien concept
It's not often you'll find Ferrari and Citroen in the same sentence, but then there's the one-off Alien Citroen C2 worth £108,000: about the same as a 360 Modena.

The SQ Plus-designed C2 has been developed as the ultimate boy racer's dream (or nightmare, depending on how you feel about extra-terrestrial life).

Just under £100,000-worth of modifications have been carried out on (what was) a C2 VTR, including huge in-car entertainment and one-off paint and trim.

Inside, the mods start with an F1-style single seat has been cut into a lower transmission tunnel. The door mirrors have been replaced with cameras transmitting to TV screens across the dashboard, as has the rear view mirror - now a camera in the rear wiper mounting.

A lot of the cost has been swallowed up by the sound system: there's £22,000 worth of stereo equipment in the SQ Plus design throwing out 15,780 watts - a similar output to an average nightclub.

Front-mounted twin exhausts, 20" chrome alloys and a wide arch body kit are topped off by a £15,000 silver airbrush paint job.

Before the boy racer in you gets too excited, though, we should point out the car isn't for sale - instead it will have its hands full at promotional events across the country.
