This is the Citroen DS like you’ve never seen it.
UK electrification firm Electrogenic has taken a 1971 example of the iconic French ‘goddess’, which some describe as the most beautiful car of all time, and transformed it into a fully-functioning electric vehicle.
The Oxford-based company, which is offering the conversion service commercially, says it managed to retain and in some cases improve the key character traits of the DS, including its much-vaunted ‘magic carpet’ ride and manual transmission.
First, Electrogenic swapped out the original 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine for a ‘Hyper9’ brushless electric motor that raises output to a 90kW and 235Nm and sources power from a 48.5kWh battery.
