Rumors: Citroen to Develop DS1 to Rival Fiat 500, Plus a New Flagship Model for China


Citroen has been rapidly expanding its DS sub-brand, which at the moment includes the DS3, DS4 and DS5 models. Now, if a report from Autocar is to be believed, the success of the DS3 supermini has prompted the French carmaker to effectively double its DS range.

The first of the three new models will most likely be a luxury flagship sedan based on the well-received Metropolis concept that was exhibited at the 2010 Shanghai Show.

Vive la DS! Ugo Spagnolo Imagines the Duchesses’ 2019 Successor


Ask any French car fan what the most beautiful and technically advanced executive sedan of the 1950s was and most will reply, “The Citroen DS.” You only need to look at the styling of some of the DS’s competition – take the Alfa Romeo 1900 Ti, Austin A95 Westminster or BMW 501/6 for example – to see just how far ahead of its time it was.

Here was a car with a fully independent and auto-leveling suspension set up, front power disc brakes, power steering, a fiberglass roof and a hydraulically operated clutch and transmission. And the styling...

So if there’s any car worthy of a modern day revival, it’s the venerable DS. While studying at France’s Institut Superieur de Design, design student Ugo Spagnolo took on this challenge as part of his internship with Citroen.

Citroën teases new model before August 30th reveal. Can you guess what it is?


Being that the world's largest motor show of the year takes place on its home turf of Paris, Citroën is readying several debuts for next month's automotive fest in France. Today, the automaker released this conceptual teaser video of an unknown car that will be revealed online on Monday, August 30th, ahead of its world premiere at the Paris Auto Show. The video doesn't show much, but we did notice the DS logo on the background.

There's a good possibility the car featured in the video is the production version of the Geneva show DS High Rider concept, otherwise known as the DS4. However, it may be something different altogether like the long rumored DS5 . Watch the video after the break and tell us what you think.

VIDEO: Citroen's MINI Cooper JCW Fighting DS3 Racing 200HP


Here's the first official video clip of the limited edition Citroen DS3 Racing that will be formally introduced at the Geneva Motor Show next week. A creation of Citroen's Racing division that handles the firm's World Rally Championship cars, the DS3 Racing will be produced in a strictly limited number of 1,000 units.

The hottest variant yet of the French automaker's premium supermini is powered by a tweaked version of the BMW-PSA Citroen Peugeot co-developed 1.6-liter turbocharged engine that's also used on the rivaling MINI Cooper JCW model. In the DS3 Racing, the 1.6 THP delivers an output of 200HP.

Citroen DS High Rider Concept Previews DS4 Crossover, will Debut in Geneva


After a handful of dark teaser shots, Citroen today unleashed a slew of images of its new DS High Rider concept car that is set to be launched at the Geneva Salon on March 2. As anticipated, the DS High Rider is more of a pre-production model that teases the upcoming DS4 that than a pure conceptual study.

The second member of Citroen's growing DS family after the DS3 supermini is a strange mix of a C-segment three-door hatchback with muscular details, a gently sloping roof line and heightened ride.

With a few exceptions such as the fabric roof and the polished 19-inch alloy wheels, what you see in these pictures is what you'll get when the DS4 goes into production early next year.

Upmarket Citroen DS4 Teased Prior to Geneva Motor Show


In the same way it did with the DS3 supermini, Citroen is slowly taking the covers off the second member of its premium DS family, the DS4, before its formal debut -most likely in pre-production guise- at next month's Geneva Salon.

The slightly increased ride height suggests that the three-door DS4 may step into crossover territory, further differentiating it from the next-generation C4 hatchback with which it shares its platform and mechanical hardware.

Citroen DS Revolte Concept: Official Photos of 2CV Inspired Hatch

A complete set of photos of Citroen's Frankfurt motorshow-bound concept car have leaked online. As you can see from the images, the prototype model bears the name 'Revolte' while the signature logo on the bonnet suggests that the car is part of Citroen's newly formed DS line-up that includes the recently announced DS3 premium supermini. While we don't have the details behind the DS Revolte, the vehicle's design that draws on the iconic 2CV implies that it could be previewing a sub-DS3 model.

Despite the 2CV styling cues that include details such as the fabric top that covers the whole length of the roof and the curvy front and rear ends, the Revolte boasts a more athletic and aggressive design than the classic Citroen, which is more than welcome, of course.

Other highlights include the 'suicide' rear doors and the overly futuristic interior with the alien spaceship-like dashboard. Expect to hear more about the Revolte in the next few days.

Citroen Launches Funky Design Configurator for the DS Inside

It's been a while since we last heard anything new from Citroen, but the French automaker certainly caught our attention today with the announcement on the launch of the DS Inside Design Studio configurator. It's not very often that we get the chance to fool around with a concept car even though in this case, the DS Inside is much more of a pre-production model than a pure study. Users can choose between two basic styles, "Paris Night" and "Ethnic", with the configurator offering a seemingly endless array of color schemes.

The three-door premium hatchback that revives Citroen's iconic DS badge was unveiled to the public for the first time at the Geneva Motor Show in March. The production model that is slated to hit European showrooms sometime in 2010 will be positioned above the C3, which continues as normal.
