Precio: 29.000 Euros Motor: En-linea 4cil, 1598cc, turbo Potencia:: 200cv a 5500rpm Par (Nm): 280Nm a 1700rpm Velocidad Máxima: 235Km/h 0 - 100Km/h: 6.5 segundos Peso: 1200 kg A la venta: Otoño 2010  What is it? Citroen simply isn’t content to continue allowing Mini and Renault the easy access they currently have to the 200 horsepower baby hatch market, so they have superheated their already-sporty DS3 to give the pair some new competition.  The advent of a high performance Citroen DS3 has been guaranteed for some months, ever since a lowered, fat-tyred DS3 Racing version was shown as a concept at the Geneva Show last March and met with strong, almost universal approval. DS3 sales are already doing three times better than Citroen hoped for its first year. The company wants to make hay while it can.  All of which is why the Racing will be in European showrooms by the autumn and in Britain around the turn of the year. Citroen is rushing the car through low volume type approval in two batches of 1000 cars (aiming at 2000 sales per year) as a method of hitting the market quickly. They think it’s urgent, now that the world knows this will be the basis of next year’s WRC car.  The modifications to a “normal” DS3 are predictable but very effective. It gets PSA’s own 197 bhp, 1.6-litre turbo engine, plus bigger front brakes and four-pot calipers. The spring/damper rates are all stiffer, the car rides 15mm lower and both front and rear tracks are widened 30mm. The wheel arches have four businesslike, bolted-on carbon fibre arch extensions to cover their extras width.  What's it like? On the road, the extra 20 percent of power is instantly detectable, though the engine is just as smooth, flexible and and docile as the more common 156bhp unit. There’s a slightly feistier exhaust note. The suspension is stiffer, too, but not excessively so. The whole thing feels extremely stable; even more 'planted’ than the standard car, which is as well because there’s quite a lot of wheel fight now, when you’re full on the noise out of corners.  The steering of our early prototype was heavier than the standard car’s relatively light set-up, and (on a Renaultsport scale) we felt it could do with a little more sensitivity around the straight ahead. The car understeered a maybe little too much for some tastes, too, though this had the virtue of helping the car respond to throttle-steering more decisively than most.Most of the quibbles will disappear as the car goes into production. The price – some French sources were suggesting £20,000-plus – may be a sticking point, but the car itself seems quite good enough to threaten either a Clio Cup of the Mini JCW for driving enjoyment and speed across the ground.  Should I buy one? Not without reading an Autocar comparison of the car with its rivals (we’ll do that the instant proper production cars become available) and probably not without driving everything else you see as a DS3R rival.  We have a feeling the Citroen may not be the neatest-handling of cars, especially compared with its Renaultsport rival, but its décor and its exuberance will make it much more attractive, to some. Take time to discover, as a 200 horsepower baby hatch buyer, exactly where your priorities lie.  [Video Error - ID incorrecto] Fuente: http://www.autocar.co.uk/CarReviews/...Racing/250758/ |

| con 150cv no haces un 0-100 en menos de 7 segundo ni de coña. no me lo trago. con 200cv ya lo veo mas normal. |

La versión de producción parece ser que no será tan llamativa como la del concept... "Most of the quibbles will disappear as the car goes into production." El coche es lo suficientemente bueno como para amenazar al Clio Cup o al Mini JCW... "but the car itself seems quite good enough to threaten either a Clio Cup of the Mini JCW for driving enjoyment and speed across the ground." PD: Pinta bien |

Así dejaría yo al DS3, y sin necesidad de ser DS3 R 200cv; un THP 156 con esta combinación, embellecedores en negro, unas OZ de estas y a correr...

[HTML][/HTML]Puta mania con las multipalo blancas..... No es un c4 by Loeb, por mucho q se pretenda asemejar. PD: Aunq todo lo q lleva no m gusta, algun detalle en naranja, combinado con el color grafito, lo veo bonito. Pero no tal cual esta, q arden los ojos al mirarlo |

A mi lo que me parece hortera es un modelo de 100 cv, 105 o 115 CV con alerones en todos lados de serie como hacen otras marcas. Pues a mi me parece bien que sea llamativo, por algo es una serie limitada de 1000 unidades y me parece bien que se diferencie de las demás, aunque tambien me parecería bien si fuera algo más discreto. |

| A la venta en Otoño de este año, el precio no se sabe, es una edición limitada, por lo tanto, barato no creo que sea. |
