The Citroën Racing-developed DS3 Cabrio Racing has landed in the UK in an ultra-limited run of 10 units, each priced at £29,305 (€34,975). That represents 10 percent of the worldwide production of 100 units.
Based on the hardtop DS3 Racing, the DS3 Cabrio Racing is powered by the same 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 207hp, enough to propel it from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 6.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 145 mph (233 km/h).
The limited edition model features carbon fiber and flashes of Brilliant Red both on the inside and outside to underline performance. The Moondark Matte Grey body color, Black fabric roof and 18-inch Brilliant Black “Nemesis” sports alloy wheels – complemented by Brilliant Red DS logo centre caps and red painted brake calipers – also underline the performance styling. In addition, each door features a Brilliant Red vertical stripe.
The color scheme carries over inside the cabin with Alcantara trimmed and embossed Citroën Racing seats with Brilliant Red stitching and headrest inserts. The Moondark Grey dashboard also features a Brilliant Red vertical stripe, while a numbered plaque located in front of the gear lever highlights the model’s limited edition status.
Based on the top-level specification DSport trim, the Citroën DS3 Cabrio Racing features standard features such as LED daytime running lights, automatic digital air conditioning and rear parking sensors. Also standard is the eMyWay Signature pack, which includes an RDS stereo radio/MP3 compatible CD player with steering mounted controls, as well as a Bluetooth system with USB socket and eight-speaker HiFi system.
