About the Citroen DS

Innovative Chassis Design

The Citroen DS kit is built on Tamiya’s MB-01 chassis, which offers a choice of three wheelbases and allows you to switch between front- or rear-wheel drive configurations. This flexibility, along with a midship motor and rear-wheel drive setup, offers excellent performance and adaptability. The chassis also features a double wishbone suspension system with friction dampers, giving the model smooth handling and stability on the road.

Detailed Polycarbonate Body

The kit features a pre-painted polycarbonate body, modeled after the early-period Citroën DS. The body is painted in Tamiya Blue with tinted windows, giving it an elegant and authentic look. The pre-cut wheel arches and pre-made body mount holes make the assembly process easy and quick, especially for beginners. This level of detail in the design makes the model a perfect collector’s item and a standout on the track.

Power & Performance

The 60mm front and rear tires provide excellent grip, and the chassis design, with its wider front tread compared to the rear, mirrors the handling of the original car. The setup ensures a thrilling driving experience, whether you're racing or displaying this historical model.
