As with DS3 Racing, Citroen Racing's engineers have taken their multi WRC
winning expertise and put their unique stamp on Citroen DS4 to create this hot
blooded new concept.
The DS4 Racing concept features new carbon fiber components including an air
diffuser, front splitter and wheel arch extensions. The 1.6-liter turbo petrol
engine, developed by Citroen Racing, provides up to 256 hp (160 hp per liter),
which is a record for a Citroen series production car. This spectacular
performance is accompanied by CO2 emissions of just 155 g/km.
Citroen Racing's engineers have modified the chassis and running gear with the
utmost precision. The chassis has been lowered by 35 mm and the track widened by
55 mm at the front and 75 mm at the rear. The braking system boasts fixed
four-piston calipers at the front together with special 380mm diameter discs.
The concept is also fitted with larger diameter 19-inch wheels and 235/40 tires.
Another stand out feature of the DS4 Racing concept is the textured-effect matt
grey paint, which catches the light to further enhance the lines of the car. The
color is stylish and modern, ideal for a sports car. Further exterior
refinements include a two-tone roof and two-tone wheels with a special DS4
Racing design.
