DS3 Givenchy Le MakeUp
Citroen's premium sub-brand
teamed up with French haute couture brand Givenchy to create a new limited
edition of the DS3.
The new DS3 Givenchy Le
MakeUp will be available both as a hatchback and a cabrio, powered by the turbocharged
110 hp 1.2-litre three-pot engine paired to either a manual or an automatic
transmission.
“The New DS 3 GIVENCHY Le
MakeUp expresses the finest expertise of two leading brands in one creation”,
said Thierry Metroz, Design Director of DS. “Givenchy is a recognised name,
embodying a distinctive, modern, creative approach to luxury and placing
considerable emphasis on materials, textures and colours, just as we do.”
One of the highlights of
this new limited edition is the bespoke Givenchy Le MakeUp kit stored in a
special compartment in the driver’s armrest, allowing both the driver and the
front passenger to “apply and check their make-up before driving”. DS has also
installed special LED lighting to both sun visor mirrors “to ensure he best possible
illumination, day and night”.
Painted in an exclusive matt
Opaline White paint finish, this limited DS3 features the obligatory special
Givenchy Le MakeUp badging, with the cabin featuring a Rose Pink dashboard and
black leather upholstery.
“In my imagination, I
dreamed that this car would enhance the beauty of women,” said Nicolas
Degennes, Artistic Director for Makeup and Colour, Givenchy. “They would be
beautiful because they would be at the wheel of this New DS 3, a car that is
already making its mark on its times.”
Prices for the new DS3
Givenchy Le MakeUp start from £ 19,395 for the hatchback and £ 21,695 for the
Cabrio version in the UK market which will get 500 cars.
