Citroen DS3 Racing Cabrio only produced a total of 100 units, most of which will stay in France. By comparison, the Ferrari make 499 units LaFerrari. Prices in the United Kingdom will be in pounds sterling and 29.305. Of course it's cheaper than a Ferrari, but it's pretty expensive for a car of this type, To give an example, the price of Golf R is £ 29,900 and offers power 300 Hp, and acceleration from 0-62 Mph in 5 seconds. While the Racing DS3 Convertible has only 1.6 liter THP engine with 210 Hp, and acceleration of 0-60 Mph in 6.5 seconds.
But if you think of this car as an alternative to the Abarth 500c or one of the derivatives of the Ferrari or Maserati emblem, 595 and 695, this little Citroen began to make sense. Below is a list of all the parts that are installed by the manufacturer, which should provide an explanation as to why Citroen asks so much for this cute little package:
-Re-mappings of the engine control unit (ECU)
-Modified sports exhaust system & sports silencer
-Modified turbo system with integrated carbon-trimmed components & specialist motor sports equipment
-High-performance suspension with adapted front & rear shock absorbers (to handle the increased power)
-Widening of the front rear & tracks by 30 mm lowering-plus the car by 15 mm
-Revised steering mapping & a modified steering control system
-Up-rated braking system, including 4-piston callipers at the front racing
-Switchable Electronic Stability Control programme (s. ESC) to complement the sports handling, which can be deactivated according to the driver's preference.
