Citroen DS3 DStyle Pink & DSport Pink special editions revealed

Citroen DS3 DStyle Pink & DSport Pink special editions revealed The Citroen DS3 is one of our favourite cars – although it is starting to get a bit long in the tooth now –  and Citroen has decided to give New Year sales a bit of a boost by launching a pair of ‘Pink’ Special Edition DS3s for the UK. Both Pink Special Editions – the DS3 DStyle Pink & DSport Pink – come with a fuchsia pink roof, door mirrors and wheel centre caps and a fuchia pink painted dashboard and colour-cided gear knob to carry on the pinkness inside. Either model can be had with a Polar White or Perla Nera Black paint job and extra toys to make them a bit more appealing, with a total of four engines available across the DStyle and DSport.

Thirty-one years later, he gave the go-ahead for the development of a car that was to be the ultimate bleeding edge of what Porsche knew about building a rear-engined sports car.
