This is what we need in production right now.

For decades, the Citroen Ds was the French model of luxury car. It is still regarded as one of most distinctive cars ever made. Citroen DS’s unique design was equal parts aerodynamics, style and form. Its exterior is timeless and looks very modern. Sang Won Lee, a web designer and photographer who is also known as sangtheowl via Instagram, created a modern version of the Citron-DS. The results are amazing.

From 1955 to 1975, the Citroen DS was a luxury executive vehicle that was available in sedan, wagon and convertible versions. The front-wheel-drive luxury car was designed to cope with France’s rugged roads. It also offered engine options that weren’t subject to higher taxes due to displacement. Citroen DS featured a hydraulic suspension system that can withstand the most difficult roads while still providing smooth rides for customers. Citroen DS’s could be used as chase cars for horseraces, since they were able to keep the camera stable on gravel roads. The Citroen DSR was also a great long-distance rally car and won the Monte Carol Rally in 1966 and 1959.

With its distinctive styling and dedication to new technologies, the Citroen DS meets modern car buyers’ needs. Sang Won Lee’s reimagined DS retains the DS’s distinctive exterior features, but modernizes the design to make something new. Modernized DS keeps the original car’s presence while incorporating design elements from modern cars. This creates the perfect mix of old and new.The antidote to boring people movers that we have come to accept is a new Citroen DS. A modern electric Citroen Ds would be welcome in today’s transitional market.
