Citroen DS3 Sport Version with 200 HP Prepared

As we told you some weeks ago, Citroen's new DS3 will be available in three different trim levels, each of them with different equipment and engine configurations. But it would seem that the French carmaker is preparing a new and more powerful version of the DS3 that would bring the final output somewhere around 200 horsepower.

autointernational.nl writes that the new DS3 will be called So Quick and will represent the fourth addition to the range that currently comprises Chic, So Chic and Sport Chic.

Technical details are not available at this point but, according to the aforementioned source, power will come from a 1.6-liter gasoline engine, with maximum output going, as we said, as high as 200 horsepower.

Pricing will be probably higher as compared to the existing trim levels. Citroen's DS3 model will officially go on sale in France in January, with prices to start at 15,400 euro. The range will initially include a total of five engines, gasoline - 1.4-liter 95 hp, 1.6-liter 120 bhp and 1.6-liter 150 hp - and diesel - 1.6-liter HDi with either 90 or 110 hp.

As for equipment, the top-of-the-range Sport Chic flavor comprises automatic climate, sports seats with Alcantara, 17-inch wheels and aluminum pedals. The roof of the DS3 can be painted in four color contrasting the body: Onyx black, Opale white, Botticelli blue and Carmen rouge. Additionally, the rearview mirror housing and door sills can also be colored or chromed while the wheels and wheel center are also available in a wide array of paintings.
