Citroen Celebrates 100,000 DS3 Sales with New Color Options

Citroen’s DS3 sales have surpassed the 100,000 mark, more than 10,000 of which have been sold in Britain alone. The French therefore have decided to celebrate the event in their own, flamboyant way, that is, by launching a new range of colors and roof designs.
Prominent among these is the, rather distinctive, Fuchsia Pink roof color with matching pink mirrors, wheel center caps, dashboard fascia and gearlever knob. This is just one choice in a wide range of personalization options with names such as “Flavio”, “Spirit” and “Flower”, which are available for the DS3 starting from July.
Henry Ford once famously quoted that people could get the Model T in “any color as long as it's black". While we're thankful that this does not apply anymore, we think this could be a little too much (a pink dashboard?). But who knows; maybe Paris Hilton, who already drives a pink Bentley, would love a matching city car.

New Citroën DS5

Prepare for impending teasing over the next few days as Citroën has released the first in a likely series of preview images of the third member in its distinctive line of DS models, the DS5, which will receive its world premiere on 18 April at the Shanghai International Motor Show.

Aside from the image pictured above, the French carmaker is keeping mum on all the details simply stating that the “DS5 is set to bring distinctive new elegance and panache to the executive class”.

It is believed that the new DS5 will be based on the architecture of Citroën’s C5 mid-size model with engine options including the PSA Citroën-Peugeot group’s Hybrid4 diesel-electric hybrid powertrain.

The DS lineup was inaugurated in 2009 with the launch of the DS3 supermini, while Citroën expanded the range with the introduction of the DS4, a high-stance five-door hatchback, at the 2010 Paris Motor Show.

The new Citroen DS3 Racing

Check out the new sporty hatch from Citroen - the DS3 Racing. Based on the DS3 DSport, the car is powered by a BMW-PSA

204bhp 1.6-litre turbo petrol engine, front wheel drive with a six-speed manual box. The car goes from 0-62mph in 6.5 seconds and has a top speed of 146mph.

Apparently there are only 200 cars available for consumers in the UK. The car costs £23,100 which makes it more costlier than a MINI Cooper JCW.
