Citroen Racing director Olivier Quesnel has revealed that the car which will replace the C4 World Rally Car in 2011 is nearing completion at the team's headquarters in Paris. The C4's successor is based on the DS3 model, which will be officially unveiled at the Frankfurt motor show next month and will go on sale in March 2010. The DS3 is being built to Super 2000 technical specifications but will be fitted with a 1600cc turbo charged engine - in accordance with the FIA's decision to reduce the size of top class rally car engines from the present two litre capacity. Quesnel told wrc.com that development of the new DS3 had started at the beginning of the year, initially as a two litre car, but had recently stopped pending a decision of the FIA's Technical Group on the details of the 1600cc engine.
