Citroen DS3
Citroen DS3 The Citroën DS3 is a supermini, produced by French manufacturer Citroën from 2009. This is the first car in the new DS (Different Spirit) range from Citroën. It was first hinted by the concept car Citroën DS Inside. This range of vehicle shares no common feature with, and is in no way the successor to, the Citroën DS. The DS3 is a compact car which competes against the MINI, Alfa Romeo MiTo and Audi A1. The DS3 features prominently in the video for the Pixie Lott song “Broken Arrow”. It is the first time that a car has had product placement in a British music video.

Citroen DS3 The latest entrant into the highly competitive small hot hatch market is this Citroen Supermini based upon the latest DS vehicle. Set to line-up head to head against the Mini Cooper S and Fiat 500 Abarth the Citroen DS3 GT has a tough track to follow. With massive wide arches, rear wing spoiler and pumped up bonnet vent and body kit it certainly looks the business but what about its engine and chassis? Under the vented bonnet it looks likely that Citroen will install the 1.6 litre turbo from the Peugeot 207 GTi and Mini Cooper S. With the release of the DS3 is signals a revival for the DS badged vehicle as was first launched in the 50’s.

Citroen DS3 The DS3, based largely off Citroën’s C3 compact, is the first example, aimed squarely at the likes of premium compacts like the Mini Cooper. While the car’s exterior is rather busy, certain styling cues — like the angled B-pillar and the contrasting “floating roof — work well. We’ve yet to see a photo of the complete interior, but Citroen says buyers will be able to personalize the cabin with a seemingly endless array of trim finishes and seat fabrics.
