Do you like dioramas? We absolutely love them and it doesn't really matter if you don't, because this one's going to blow you away.
Before we introduce you to the "Hey look, there's a cool rally diorama on top of that DS3" part that really made our day, we feel the need to tell you something about this scaled down rally scene.

It's actually a masterpiece ordered by Citroen themselves to celebrate its World Rally Championship domination over the last nine years, with Sebastian Loeb as nine time champion and the automaker as seven time manufacturer title winner with Xsara, C4 and DS3 WRC prepared models.

The 1:43 scale diorama was designed and built by Kieron Barter of Funky Lemon Design in no less than two months, and displays nine different rally stages, one for every WRC title won by Citroen. Take a closer look and you'll notice some muddy Rally Acropolis or snowy Swedish Rally scenes, as well as the Xsara model raced back in 2014. The details are simply stunning, and having one of these in our office would probably keep us away from work for a few days.

According to the French manufacturer, the diorama-bearing Citroen DS3 will go on dealer and various events tour later this year.
