DS X TENSE - OUR DREAM FOR 2035

A car that’s as light as a feather and as silent as a breeze, forged by its creator’s vision, for people who are passionate about cars.

DS X E-TENSE IS ASYMETRIC

A dream car for 2035 created by DS Automobiles with an asymmetric, three-seat concept founded on a unique association of two vehicles in one that allows owners to select the driving mode that matches their needs.

New technology of vehicle body making it capable of recovering its original form after an impact. The configuration of the front grille and DS X E-TENSE’s cooling capacity adapt to the driver’s impulses. The DS LIGHT VEIL light curtains control the lights brightness.

INSPIRED TECHNOLOGIES

Located within the front wheels, the two motors selected as the source of the all-electric DS X E-TENSE’s power provide unrivalled response. For road use, peak power stands at 400kW (540 horsepower), a figure that rises to 1,000kW (1,360 horsepower) in ‘circuit’ mode which allows the driver to savour the exquisite performance of the suspension engineered by DS Performance, the technical team behind DS’s Formula E programme. The carbon fibre chassis sits on innovative springs and torsion bars, while traction, grip and deceleration is controlled by an advanced active system conceived to optimise performance, whatever the type of road surface.

A RADICALLY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE

The cockpit is accessed by an Elytre door that is trimmed with a carbon fibre/leather weave. Inevitably, the eyes are drawn to the pyramidal architecture of the single seat, which adapts perfectly to the driver’s build like the fitted seats seen in motor racing. The steering wheel, is an enticing combination of leather, wood and metal. The two-tone Millennium Blue and Navy Blue Aniline leather is finished with DS’s trademark pearl topstitch pattern. All creating a unique experience once inside the cockpit and provide the driver with an adrenalin rush even before they pull away.

A SOOTHING COCOON

Climb inside via the gullwing door and the driver, alone or accompanied, becomes a passenger. This asymmetric layout frees up a different type of space underneath the clear glass canopy, with the passenger enclosed in a sensuous capsule, snug in a ventilated, massaging seat that stretches back like a deployed bird’s wing, with a feather star motif crowning the top of the back. Travelling with the autonomous mode engaged is an exceptional experience as other senses than touch come into play. The interior space is an immersive acoustic bubble dedicated to the pleasure of listening, signed FOCAL.
