Citroen->ke22 will come to this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed->ke3879 with the DS3 Cabrio Racing -- a concept car that combines the sporty feeling of a DS3 Racing hatchback with the sophistication of new DS3 Cabrio->ke3360. The new concept was built by the Citroen Racing team and will offer some innovative features when compared to a base DS3 Cabrio.
The new DS3 Cabrio Racing Concept is offered in a bespoke Moondark matte textured grey paint combined with black chrome insertions on the door handles, trunk trim and door mirrors. The concept also sits on specially designed set of 19-inch alloy wheels painted in gloss black. The wheels are contrasted by brake calipers coated in Carmin red.
On the inside, the concept gets bucket seats in DS design with three types of fabric: Napa full-grain leather, DS-embossed leather and Alcantara. Citroen Racing also used Carmin red on the seats, dashboard, gearshift and the door side strips.
Under the hood, the concept retains the usual 1.6-liter engine that delivers a total of 202 horsepower.
