I didn't realise the 120 was a turbo :eek:

Mine certainly isn't. Is this a new engine option?

[FatS]

mmmmm not-quite-right journalism most likely???
120 normal
155 turbo
??????
Unless somethings changed.

It would seem odd they'd strap a turbo to it, and it would still be 120bhp...

Didn't no that u could get a racing for under 14k either

Also spotted this in this weeks - New turbo makes DS3 tax-free

A LOWER-powered version of PSA’s record-breaking 1.2 e-THP petrol engine will bring the Citroen DS3’s emissions below the magic 100g/km barrier.

While the 108bhp three-cylinder turbo won’t match the 99.1mpg the 128bhp version achieved in the Peugeot 308 (opposite), it should return around 65mpg and give 0-62mph in just under 10 seconds. And crucially, it’ll give Citroen a rival to the Ford Fiesta EcoBoost.

Citroen already offers the 128bhp e-THP in the C4 (driven on Page 45), and an insider said: “We’ll do a 99g/km car. It’d work well in the DS3, for example.”

The DS3 will have to match the Fiesta on price, so it should start at around £13,500 when fitted with the 108bhp engine. It’s likely to arrive later this year.

Citroen had a 99g car in 2010!
I know - I bought one!
Since re-mapping it kicks out 57g, they should be paying me!

More sloppy journalism...

[lfcrule1972]

Does the 100g/km barrier signify when the road tax becomes free then ? If so is my eHDi 115 sub 100g as I have free road tax...

Yep, info.

Cheers Beefy, so the poorly reported article should make it clear that it's referring to a petrol engine with sub 100g/km emissions
