One of the most eye-catching models displayed on the DS stand at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed was a shimmering vinyl-wrapped black DS 3. Following high levels of public interest and positive feedback, the model has now been released as a new limited edition named DS 3 Dark Light,

DS 3 Dark Light is powered by the responsive and highly efficient PureTech 110 S&S petrol engine paired with the brand’s latest generation EAT6 6-speed automatic transmission. This drivetrain provides a rewarding driving experience and smooth automatic gear changes, which is particularly beneficial in stop-start urban driving conditions.

Showcasing the DS brand’s focus on avant-garde design, refinement and attention to detail, the limited edition DS 3 Dark Light was released for sale on Tuesday 1 September, priced at £20,795 OTR. Just 300 examples are available in the UK.
