So i was there at Goodwood, milling around taking pics and then I spotted this..........

DS3 R - this car is hand built by Citroens rally department and only 200 are made for the UK market with only 60 left. It also comes in white by the way with CF greay where all the orange is on this one. So a base 1.6T DS3 sport is taken by them, replace the cylinder head, performance exhaust system, performance brake upgarde, ECU remap and a few other little touches inside including what must be the most comfy bucket seats i have ever sat in.

207PS which aint too bad and nice options as standard. The price tag for this limited edition race spec car..............................

£23 000.00!!!!!!! I must admit, i was VERY tempted and so was the missus!

I think the DS3 is the only other similar car that looks as good as the Ibiza atm and that one is stunning, think i'd prefer it in the black and orange over the white too.

Love the look of those seats and is that a proper old-fashioned clunk-free gearbox I see there? haha

Yeah, the same as my boc to insure and tax. i was well impressed tbh but agree, the price scares me but I think the exclusivity will mean it retains its value relatively well.

i don't car mate, that car is the SHIZ!!!!! Not to mention, the DS3 is getting amazing reviews. Did i also mention it has switchable ESP so you can switch it off completely when you wanna have some fun..........

great looking but £23k? way to much for a citroen. a mate of mine who has a ds3 and uses a ds3 forum reckons someone who has a racing has had it mapped and i think the power went from 207 to 240-250...

That is some serious power gains there.
