2011 Citroen DS3 R3 is versatile car, high performance and yet affordably-priced. It will be available in both in kit and ready-to-race versions. The Citroen DS3 R3 Rally car comes with an upgraded 1.6-litre turbocharged inline-four producing 210bhp and 350Nm / 258.2 lb-ft of peak torque with the steel body shell reinforced by a welded, multi-point roll cage.
The DS3 R3 is equipped with a six-speed sequential transmission, which the company claims allows for gear changes to be made twice as quickly over a manual gearbox. The suspension has been redesigned and upgraded to make full use of the Group R regulations, allowing for a wide variety of setup options. Rally-spec alloy wheels and a reworked braking system are also part of the package.
