Citroen DS is rapidly expanding sub-brand, which currently includes the DS3, DS4 and DS5 models. Now, if the relationship to Autocar is to be believed, the success of the DS3 supermini has received the French car maker doubles the area of the DS.
The first of three new models will most likely be a luxury flagship sedan based on the Metropolis concept well received that was unveiled at Shanghai 2010.
Impressive limousines measures 5.3 meters long but only 1.4 meters high and shaped concept is motivated by a hybrid powertrain that combines a gasoline engine 2.0-liter V6 with an electric motor to power Total 272HP.
Citroën product planning manager, Thomas Haussy, said the flagship model will target the Chinese market, and most likely will not make it to Europe, because all of the response of PSA in the luxury segment has proven futile .
What Europe has, according to a city is Haussy DS-badged. The enormous success of the elegant Citroën Fiat 500 has prompted management to consider a mini-exclusive, as there seems to be a huge demand for distinctive, adaptable to cars in the city.
If Citroen gives the green light DS1, is based on the second generation of C1, together with that of its Peugeot 107 and Toyota Aygo brothers, expected to debut next year the Paris Motor Show.
On Haussy suggested that the third model may be a hybrid, four-wheel drive version of the DS4 that using the same powertrain as the 3008 and DS5.
The Citroen head also said that the draft Racing DS is a worthwhile effort, and the DS3 Racing "was not an isolated incident," adding that "we could sell more of what we did in 2300."
