Pre-Geneva Motor Show: Citroen DS3 Racing

This is what happens to the Citroën DS3 when you leave it to its competition department, champion of the last six WRC Drivers’ world: a gray and orange beast with 200 horsepower, suspension and numerous details differentiators in the form of vinyl and decorative elements.

According to Citroen, this is a limited edition of 1,000 units (presumably after a version without vinyls come with more features and color without being limited). In addition to the more powerful engine, we also detail as larger discs on both axles, drilled and ventilated in the earlier train bitten by forceps monobloc four-piston aluminum.

The routes are growing 40 mm front and rear, while the ground clearance is reduced by 15 mm. The contact with the ground they put huge tires on eighteen inches. Know if you emulate the effect of a limited slip differential, but we do know that the ESP (on / off) has a more radical, in the same way that the management of the power steering pump was also amended to give more weight and feedback at the wheel.

The interior is finished in carbon, parts painted in orange, a badge identifying the number corresponding to the limited range, and a more sporty seats.
The work of adapting aerodynamic also come with a spliter and a diffuser serve to increase the load (or rather, avoid some of the air bearing effect across the car). Will you keep wanting more? We, too, but in a few days we will have pictures in the first person from the Geneva Motor Show, and we expect more data, such as price, for example.
