Built around a carbon fibre monocoque, this two-door prototype features long and low proportions which are emphasised by a set of 21” wheels.

Most of the all-electric powertrain’s components are taken straight from Formula E. Separate motors for the front and rear axles produce 340 PS (335 bhp / 250 kW) and 475 PS (469 bhp / 350 kW) respectively, giving a combined output of 815 PS (804 bhp / 600 kW). Peak torque meanwhile is an astonishing 8,000 Nm (5,900 lb-ft).

Another key element is the regenerative braking system. Indeed, thanks to a capacity of up to 600 kW, it’s used for all retardation. Traditional brake discs and pads are fitted as well, but they’re merely a back-up system for safety purposes.

DS is due to commence an E-Tense Performance testing programme later this month. That should establish exactly how quick and efficient the car actually is.
