DS X E-TENSE

The 100% electric powertrain guarantees unrivalled responsiveness. Located at the front, in the middle of each wheel, in this fantasy it delivers an output of 400 kW (540 horsepower) in traffic. Moving onto the circuit, a special mode exceeds 1,000 kW (1,360 horsepower) and benefits from suspension designed by DS Performance, the Formula E technical team. The carbon chassis sits on springs and torsion bars with innovative properties. Traction, grip and deceleration are controlled by a physical and software concept to achieve the best possible performance whatever the surface.

On the right side, the ambiance is different. The driver becomes the passenger when they enter the cocoon through a butterfly door, whether they’re alone or with someone else. The asymmetry makes new spaces possible beneath a transparent glass pod. The passenger sits in a sensory shell, stretched out like a bird’s wing, cooled and massaging, with a feather stole on the upper part. The experience of autonomous driving is exceptional. Along with the sense of touch, the sense of hearing is also invited along. The interior space is an immersive acoustic bubble dedicated to the pleasure of listening, by FOCAL. The dashboard is reinvented as a generator of musical flow: acoustic waves adjusted in real time follow the listener by adapting to their every move.
