Revisions for the Citroën DS3 WRC 2015

Following the new engine, rear suspension and tailgate spoiler that were introduced ahead of the 2015 season, Citroën has announced some further updates for its DS3 World Rally Championship contender.

These focus on the front end, which gains redesigned wings and a modified bumper. Both the aerodynamics and downforce levels are said to be improved as a result.

There’s also a refreshed livery. Out goes the old white, gold and red colour scheme in favour of a sophisticated-looking paintjob that’s predominantly grey and black. The ‘DS’ branding is noticeably more prominent, too.

To help identify the team’s three cars, each has a unique roof finish. Kris Meeke has chosen white, while Mads Østberg and Khalid Al Qassimi have gone for grey and red respectively.

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.
