What’s special about this particular DS 9 is the two-tone satin finish exterior, courtesy of a color film wrap that mixes golden glitter with pearlescent particles, resulting in the bodywork diffracting light to reflect the colors of the rainbow.

Starting with yellow, the DS 9’s exterior changes to navy blue or reddish orange depending on which angle you’re viewing it from. In turn, this also makes the DS 9’s body lines appear even more sculptural, intensifying the sharp edges and putting a stronger emphasis on its curves, especially along the shoulder line.

“We looked to create a radical finish for a large statuesque saloon like DS 9. By bending the rules of High Fashion and with locations in Paris dedicated to modern art like the Palais de Tokyo, we came up with a color that has an electrifying effect. Depending on the angle, the view changes to reflect the colors of the rainbow. This approach is also part of a far-reaching research and development project into the colors of tomorrow,” said Vincent Lobry, project manager for color, materials and finish at DS Automobiles.

As for interior, the car features a Rubis Red Opera trim, for a true premium feel. It’s also loaded with convenience and active safety features such as Level 2 autonomous driving tech, a Focal Electra sound system, Proximity Keyless Entry & Start, DS Night Vision, Driver Attention Monitoring, Active Blind Spot Monitoring, Extended Traffic Sign Recognition and loads more.

Custom wraps aside, DS 9 buyers can choose between a total of five exterior colors in Pearl White, Midnight Blue, Pearl Crystal, Artense Gray and Perla Nera Black.
