The first of 200 special edition Citroen DS3 Racing models has been delivered in the UK.
Citroen is currently taking orders for the model with a waiting list of around six months.
Bringing racing technologies to the consumer market, the model features bold styling, premium build and a racing-inspired design, on top of its "impeccable sporty pedigree".
DS3 Racing owner John Leslie commented: "I was looking for a car that mixed rally-bred performance and handling with a good helping of style and quality, and the DS3 Racing easily stood out. The added everyday practicality was a real bonus."
According to Citroen, the model is based on the DSport THP 150 model and can reach 62mph in 6.5 seconds, on top of boasting a combined cycle fuel economy of 44.1mpg.
In other news, Citroen will host a press conference tomorrow (March 1st) to launch its appearance at the 81st Geneva Motor Show.
