The new Racing - The DS 'Performance'

[FLP]

Even shorter gear ratios? If anything they should make 6th (and maybe 5th) longer.

Limited slip diff now. That is was sorely needed.

Ok this is the only new model DS3 I like, but wouldn't want gold, in red it would be nice though.

That said, for the money we're guessing I think I'll be looking at a Scirocco or Audi S

So its a Racing with a new front end and possibly the same engine derived issues.

Fair point. Wait 12 months and see what issues arise from the engine

Red/Black been done to death.
Scirocco- squashed backside, ugly motor.

[lfcrule1972]

Ha ha - I kinda like that ugly look although I still prefer the sporty Audi A3

[Chris_Blue]

A3 good motor. S3 even better (Same engine as what I have atm) RS3 ... the wallet gets depressed.

[lfcrule1972]

S3 would be my limit and I'd be squeezing the wallet on that - the RS3 looks amazing though

[TypeDS3]

I like this, nice to see what looks like matt black, though I would prefer orange with it rather than gold.

Probably going to be out of my budget when/if I change though.

I looked at a Scirocco before I chose my DS, I stood in the dealership for 10 minutes being ignored by all staff so I left and went to the Citroen garage. I think it was for the best as I don't think the Scirocco has aged particularly well to be honest, certainly not as well as my DS.

How can they compare this and the Fiesta when this is 10k more than a fully specced ST? This is in the price range of a Golf R, Focus RS and Civic. Let's settle that the fiesta is still the best for the price in the hatch market and this DS3 won't be able to compare to it's similarly priced rivals.

I didn't realise they had published the price of this DS, how much is it?

If you look above there is discussion on the price. The last DS3 racing was still more expensive than the current Fiesta ST, and they're not going to make it any cheaper

I'm kind of 'jealous' know, knowing that I bought a 'limited edition' car that's now in full production is kind of disappointing...

I do like the bumper, but think the headlight's look too 'cute'... when i finish my costume headlights maybe will get the bumper too...

Well the Racing was a bit more 'justifiable' because of its rarity...

Discussion yes, official price no.
