Citroen DS3 Turns 1

A hundred Citroën DS3s, owned by members of the DS3 Spirit forum from all over Europe, will take to the track at La Ferté Gaucher on 2 April 2011 for a very special day when Citroën meets the new generation of enthusiasts.

With sales of more than 80,000 units since it was launched in March 2010, the Citroën DS3 has generated genuine passion, demonstrated by the DS3 Spirit forum, which has attracted thousands of fans of the first model in the new DS line. In the tradition of the collectors of the flagship models in the history of Citroën, this web community represents the new generation of Citroën enthusiasts.

In the matte black of the Série Noire limited edition, or in the DS3 Racing version developed by the Citroën Racing teams, the Citroën DS3 is multi-faceted and appeals to those seeking a strong individual style, feel and refinement. This gathering of passionate owners – exceptional for a recent model – confirms the success of the Citroën DS3, which boasts almost one-third of sales in the most exclusive trim level.

Almost 200 members of the DS3 Spirit forum from all over Europe will meet the teams behind the DS3 project. The dynamic workshops run by instructors will give participants an opportunity to get behind the wheel of a Citroën DS3 Racing to understand and appreciate its inimitable feel on the road.

This exciting day will close with a colourful parade of all the Citroën DS3s in attendance to wish the first member of the DS line family a very happy birthday!
