This year Paris Motor Show will see the introduction of the DS brand. To mark the event, premium French manufacturer Citroen decided to introduce the DS3 Ines de la Fressange models.
Designed by the DS Styling Center and Ines de La Fressange Paris fashion house, the models are based on the coupe and cabrio versions of the mini model.
The two cars differ first and foremost in their bodywork colours. The DS3 Coupe features satin-finish Ink Blue with glossy Onyx Black roof, while the DS3 Cabrio is finished in glossy Perla Nera Black with an Infinite Blue soft top. Even so, both models have 17-inch ‘Aphrodite’ diamond-cut alloy wheels and ‘Ines Red’ door mirrors.
The interior is the same in both models, with similar three colors: red, white and blue, the colors seen on the French national flag. The seats are upholstered in Granite Blue grained leather with white topstitching and headrests with the same ‘Aéropostale’ signature as on the bodywork. The dashboard is also shown in Ines Red with an enamel-style emblem incorporated into the design. The ‘Aéropostale’ signature is also seen on the floor mats.
The gadget list includes MyDS Scan, a smartphone app that uses visual recognition to make operating the car easier and DS Connect Box, a system designed for smartphones that supplies information on the car’s use.
