Citroën DS 5LS revealed

The new DS 5LS carries neither a Citroën nameplate nor the familiar double-chevron logo. That’s because it’ll be made and sold only in China, a country where DS is a separate brand entirely.

Measuring 4.70 metres (15’ 5”) from bumper to bumper, the DS 5LS is 17 centimetres (7”) longer than the European-spec DS5. A four-door saloon, its restrained styling incorporates the latest DS front end, LED taillights and plenty of chrome trim.

On the inside the aim has been to create a luxurious environment. Wood and leather abound, the front seats have a massaging function and an air purifier is fitted. Also included as standard are a reversing camera, keyless entry and start, a Denon audio system and a blind-spot monitoring device.

Sales of the 5LS are due to begin in China next March via fifty special DS Stores. Citroën has also confirmed that a DS SUV is going to be launched there later in 2014.

Hence the concept of regeneration by substituting ancient components with fresh replacements. Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
