Utilising the latters previous experience in the Formula E championships and engineering from DS's motorsport division, DS Performance, the impressive electric vehicle will be raced by Sam Bird and Jean-Eric Vergne in the upcoming Formula E season.

For the duration of the show, there will also be screenings of the new adverts featuring Baby DS, the latest brand model.
