Citroën has created a racing concept of its luxury sub-brand DS, the DS4 Racing Concept, making its debut at the Geneva Motor Show.

Engineers at Citroën Racing lowered the chassis and widened the track on its production DS4. The concept also sports an air diffuser, front bumper panel, lower-body belt-line and wing extensions. A tweaked 1.6-litre turbo engine now develops 256 bhp, or 160 bhp per litre, a record for a series-production car.

Massive four-pot fixed calliper brakes grace the front, with special discs widened to 380 mm in diameter and shod with larger, 19” wheels.

Its matte-grey paint effect, which the manufacturer says catches the light differently and enhances the body styling, doesn’t sound like it should wow, but it’s pretty darn pretty. A two-tone roof and specially designed two-tone wheel rims further vamp up the exterior.
