Citroen DS gets new lease of life

Design concept re-imagines DS for 2019, to coincide with Citroen's centenary.

The DS is back from the dead! This wild-looking creation is the brainchild of Ugo Spagnolo, a design student at France’s Institut Superieur de Design, who completed this project as part of as part of an internship with Citroen.

Taking the innovative DS from the Fifties as a starting point, his stunning 3-D renderings and accompanying video imagine what a modern interpretation could look like. According to the designer the concept was penned with the year 2019 in mind - to coincide with Citroen's centenary.

When it first went on sale in 1955, the DS was light years ahead of the competition in terms of design flair and cutting edge technology. Fully-independent auto-levelling suspension, front disc brakes and power steering were just a few of the technical highlights, while the sleek aerodynamic body and signature covered rear wheel have elevated it to iconic status.

For the second incarnation, Spagnolo has exposed the rear wheel but kept the distinctive steep rear windscreen and long bonnet, making its inspiration immediately obvious. Cues from recent concepts such as the Revolt and Survolt have been infused into the design so it's in keeping with the current design language. Under the sking it's powered by hydrogen fuel cells.

Could this car become a reality? It's still strictly a design project for now, but what better way to celebrate your 100th birthday than with a new take on such a well-loved old classic.
